Dear Neighbor,
For a decade, the Manchester CT Jazz Festival has been a cornerstone of our community, uniting music lovers, supporting local charities, and showcasing world-class talent in the heart of Manchester.
As preparation for the 10th Annual Manchester CT Jazz Festival is underway, the Jazz Festival Team invites you to join as a vital partner in this vibrant celebration of music and community spirit. Your support and donations will ensure this milestone event continues to inspire, uplift, and make a meaningful impact in the Greater Manchester area.
This year’s festival promises to be the most spectacular yet. As a premier musical fundraiser produced by Beth Sholom B’nai Israel (BSBI), every contribution enables BSBI to support many local charities. These include a $15K donation to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, $1800.00 to the DePalma Roy Scholarship fund to support aspiring local students pursuing careers in music, ongoing support for community organizations such as MACC-CT and Hockanum Valley Community Council food pantries, the Cornerstone Clothing Bank in Vernon, and others. With your generosity, the Jazz Festival Team can keep this tradition thriving and accessible to all. |

This year, the festival is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 6:30 PM, and Sunday, December 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM, at the Little Theatre of Manchester at Cheney Hall. This year's performers include Grammy winner vocalist Nicole Zuraitis, Grammy winner Dan Pugach with his dynamic 18-piece jazz orchestra, rising stars Vanisha Gould and Jonathan Barber, bluegrass, soul, blues, jazz funk, and award-winning student band combos, showcasing the best of jazz and beyond.
The Manchester CT Jazz Festival is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and compassion. Together, our community can ensure that this 10th anniversary event leaves a lasting legacy in Manchester. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation and becoming a sponsor or purchasing tickets today by visiting manchesterctjazzfest.com. Every gift, no matter the size, allows the festival to continue creating an inclusive, inspiring event that resonates far beyond the stage and into the Manchester community. |
