Description
Jazz at Lincoln Center’s (JALC) mission is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community for jazz through performance, education and advocacy. In alignment with Andrew Carnegie’s vision “to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding,” JALC has built an international platform for America’s distinctive art form. Through its improvisation, encouraging individual expression and personal freedom, jazz is a metaphor for democracy, inspiring us to face adversity with persistent optimism. Due to Covid-19, JALC has lost an unprecedented amount of income with the cessation of public performances. With Corporation support, JALC will be able to continue and expand online programming while developing a 2021 concert season program.

The mission of Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) is to entertain, enrich and expand a global community through performance, education and advocacy; it celebrates personal freedom and encourages individual expression. JALC serves a large diverse audience, including musicians, teachers and students of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. JALC’s mission is rooted in the belief that this American-born music is a metaphor for American-born democracy: because jazz is improvisational, it celebrates personal freedom and encourages individual expression; because jazz is swinging, it dedicates that freedom to finding and maintaining common ground with others; and because jazz is rooted in the blues, it inspires us to face adversity with persistent optimism. With Corporation support, JALC will can continue with its mission and evolution into the future as an important part of America’s national and artistic heritage.
