We are excited to announce that our annual “Jazz After Work” concerts are back in person starting on Sunday, July 3.  Jazz After Work is a free nightly (Mon -Thurs.) Concert Series, 7:15 pm Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings through the month of July.

For close to a decade years LJC has been opening evening faculty concerts to the public at its summer campus.  This year we are excited to welcome the community to the new, state-of-the-art performing arts center at the Frederick Gunn School in Washington, CT.

Concerts feature faculty members consisting of world-class jazz players and the finest up-and-coming young professionals, many of whom attended the camp in previous years.

Concerts are available at no charge to the public. Free will donations are gratefully accepted.
