Emerson Jazz For Our Schools

EMERSON JAZZ
FOR OUR SCHOOLS

The Emerson Jazz for our Schools program allows students from area schools to experience the world-class musicians in a world-class venue, the Ferring Jazz Bistro. School groups attending a performance will arrive at 11 am for lunch, provided by Jazz St. Louis, followed by a performance and conversation with one of our amazing artists in the Ferring Jazz Bistro. Performances will finish by 12:30 pm. This program is made possible through generous funding from Emerson.
