Thanks to your generosity, we've reached our goal of $5000!  However our efforts aren't done yet.  For the remainder of our crowdfunding campaign, we believe that we can raise an additional $1k to invest in equipment that will help minimize latency for online class sessions (and potentially virtual concerts!)

UC Jazz Ensembles is dedicated to the performance, study, and promotion of jazz at UC Berkeley. Your generous support will help us bring jazz back—virtually!

Since our revenue relies heavily on live, in-person performances, it is vital that we receive additional support during this pandemic. Supporting performing arts is always important, but with looming budget cuts to our resources, we are desperately looking for additional support to keep jazz alive at UC Berkeley. UC Jazz provides a valuable service to Berkeley students, providing a much needed outlet from their regular academic pursuits.  The music and community that UC Jazz Ensembles provides is even more important during this period of remote instruction.

We’re hoping to raise $5,000 total:

• $3600 for special workshops tailored for on-line delivery provided by our part-time faculty.
• $1400 for technology upgrades. This money would help cover some of the monthly cost of using an app, and other equipment upgrades, that would help facilitate music education in the absence of in-person instruction.

Thanks so much for your support!

In return for your support, we offer attractive "perks" based on your level of giving, which are listed in the "Our way of Thanking You" section of this page.
