Our Mission
To promote, advance and preserve the distinctively American musical art form – jazz – in Wausau and the surrounding North Central Wisconsin Area
To provide a forum for jazz performance, education, and enjoyment for listeners and musicians.
To encourage jazz scholarship, especially among younger musicians. This encouragement may take several forms, providing programs at schools, making opportunities for younger musicians to play along with older, more experienced musicians, and providing scholarships for deserving young musicians.
