Calendar
A partial listing of upcoming concert performances and jazz events throughout Texas.
Few things are more valuable in music education than hearing good music played by good musicians. Below is a listing of some of the major Texas university jazz program concert listings and events for the coming months. If you are in proximity to one of these schools, I strongly urge you to load up the school bus and take a field trip. If your school isn’t listed, please don’t be offended, I was trying to hit the major metro areas primarily, but do send me your performance dates so I can post them.
High school and middle school programs – I’d like to post your performance dates, too. Send them in and they will be added to the calendar.
