2013 Jazz on the Plaza
Thursdays during May, June, July and August
Each week over the course of the summer months, the Conservancy hosts a series of jazz concerts for the Midtown community. This historic program is made possible in partnership with BXP, Grand Central Partnership, Coca-Cola, and Saint Peter’s Church. This program is also supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in Partnership with the City Council.
Jazz on the Plaza is presented in two series:
The Spring Series, held during the month of May, features a prominent professional musician leading a band composed of students from college and high school jazz programs.
The Summer Series, running from June through August, showcases professional jazz musicians from around the world.
