HSA Dizzy Gillespie Jazz Academy

Join Us for the Launch Reception of the Dizzy Gillespie Jazz Academy! 🎶

On February 20th from 6-8 PM, as part of our Black History Month celebration, Harlem School of the Arts proudly introduces the Dizzy Gillespie Jazz Academy, a FREE music program made possible by the Herb Alpert Foundation.

Honoring the legacy of jazz icon Dizzy Gillespie, this program offers young musicians an opportunity to explore jazz history, musicianship, and theory while cultivating  character-building qualities.

This special evening will be hosted by HSA CEO James C. Horton, HSA Director of Music Shelly Bauer, and visual artist King Saladeen, with exciting performances by the HSA all-star band and HSA dancers.

A curriculum designed to inspire, educate, and connect, students will develop essential skills for success—both in music and in life. Recruitment is ongoing, and participation is completely FREE.
