Welcome to the Vermont Jazz Center’s 4th Annual Solo Jazz Piano Festival!
We will be Livestreaming from the home piano studio of each artist here on our website. If you’re having trouble streaming, reload the VJC homepage. Feature concerts presented on Friday and Saturday night with masterclasses, emerging artist concerts and a performer panel all day Saturday. In past years, this festival has been a “live” and ticketed event valued at $75. This year we are relying on donations to offset costs, please give generously.
