jazz is freedom, pride is freedom.
Led by their founder GRAMMY and Tony Award-winner Bryan Carter, the Jazz at Pride Orchestra is a 21-40 piece orchestra showcasing world-class artists from the LGBTQIA+ community.
Defying the expectations of what audiences can expect from a jazz performance, the orchestra features widely diverse selections from the Great American Songbook, musical theatre and contemporary artists like Ray Charles and Shania Twain.
Each performance boasts an all-star lineup that has included Tony winners J Harrison Ghee and Santino Fontana, GRAMMY winner Marc Shaiman , Emmy nominees Tituss Burgess and Billy Eichner, J. Hoard, Charenee Wade, Vuyo Sotashe and Latin Grammy winner Ella Bric.
Community.
In the face of on-going legislative and social dangers for the queer community, Jazz at Pride remains committed to being a source of community and joyful home for all to embrace their identity.
Education.
From the stage to clinics and masterclasses in classrooms, Jazz at Pride is able to share its message of belonging and inclusion — in music and their everyday environment.
