Supporting Girls Who Love Jazz

Columbus Jazz Girls is dedicated to celebrating and supporting female, nonbinary, and gender-expansive youth who love jazz. Our goal is to help grow this historically underrepresented group of musicians by providing high-quality education programs. We cultivate fun and encouraging environments where students can learn, take risks, and hone their musical skills. 

This program is proudly sponsored by Hazel A. and Charles R. Morrow-Jones.

Empowering the Next Generation

"This was my second year doing this program... These programs have been something I genuinely look forward to doing each year due to jazz being such a male-dominated genre."
