Monterey Jazz Festival

Performance opportunities to aspiring local student musicians

Monterey, Calif.- The Monterey Jazz Festival (MJF) and Inns of Monterey, an official hotel partner of MJF since 2010, are pleased to continue their relationship in 2019 by providing performance opportunities to aspiring local student musicians.

Inns of Monterey, offering a choice of five uniquely designed boutique hotels, including Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa, Monterey Bay Inn, Spindrift Inn, Victorian Inn, and Wave Street Inn, began the official partnership nine years ago to support MJF and its core educational programs in Monterey County to internationally-renowned jazz artists who perform during the annual jazz festival in September; to jazz-teaching artists who mentor and engage thousands of students in Monterey County during the academic year through MJF’s Jazz in the Schools program and during the springtime Next Generation Jazz Festival (NGJF); and to MJF’s faculty and Artists-in-Residence during Summer Jazz Camp by providing accommodations.
