The ColaJazz Foundation champions jazz in South Carolina through a unique blend of performance, education, and community outreach. We cultivate a thriving jazz ecosystem, impacting communities statewide. Our statewide radio shows and diverse programs, from the ColaJazz Summer Camp to the "Live in the Lobby" series, enrich the cultural landscape.
Education is core to our mission. We serve students of all ages, from summer camps to adult workshops. Since 2019, we've impacted over 10,000 students through school visits and "Jazz for Kids" concerts.
ColaJazz fosters a vibrant jazz scene. We provide year-round opportunities for musicians and audiences alike, from intimate concerts to engaging classroom experiences. Our commitment to accessibility, diversity, and creativity makes jazz accessible to all.
The 2021 Governor's Award for the Arts recognizes our excellence. ColaJazz is a dynamic force in the South Carolina jazz community.
