American University’s jazz program is dedicated to
providing an educational and enriching atmosphere through which the campus
community can learn and foster an appreciation for jazz. Through
performances, classes, symposia, student ensembles and clubs, students
are able to engage in the historical, cultural, stylistic, and artistic
aspects of jazz music. Furthermore, AU Jazz is engaged in outreach
efforts throughout Washington, D.C., to expose the community to the greatness
that is “America’s Classical Music.”
