Established Sept 19, 2006, Bakersfield Jazz Workshop is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community organization dedicated to education, appreciation and promotion of jazz music in Bakersfield and Kern County, California. We engage with our community through weekly workshops, scholarships, free clinconcerts, and other activities.
Every Tuesday, BJW holds a workshop, open to the public, consisting of a beginner jazz ensemble class, a featured artist concert, and an open jam session. Free admission. Family-friendly.
We rely on voluntary donations from attendees, businesses, venues and other community organizations. These donations may be tax-deductible (consult your tax advisor).
Workshop attendees can drop a donation dollars in the tip jar. Local businesses and community organizations can make donations in person at the workshop, or by mail.
Another convenient way to donate is to setup a recurring monthly donation online!
