Calling all artists and educators! We are holding our annual Jazz Power Institute in partnership with Lehman College on June 9th and 10th! Jazz Power Institute provides a dynamic framework for artists and educators, to build their knowledge and skill teaching jazz across disciplines of music, dance and writing; awakening deeper imagination, community and trust with their students. This year’s theme is EMPOWERMENT AND CONNECTION THROUGH JAZZ AND AFRO LATIN JAZZ with hands-on transformational and multidisciplinary learning experiences led by Dr. Eli Yamin (JPI Managing and Artistic Director), Antoinette Montague (Senior voice teacher), with guest artists James McBride (author/musician), and Latin jazz specialists Steven Oquendo, Alberto Toro, J Black and Carmen Morillo.
