The Jazz Sanctuary, a regional nonprofit performing arts group, has lined up free, live concerts in the Philly suburbs for this December, giving a “jazzy” glow to this holiday season.
The month began with an evening of “Jazz & Joe” in Yardley last week and continues with another evening of “Jazz & Joe” with The Jazz Sanctuary quintet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at Buckingham’s Trinity Episcopal Church, routes 202 and 413, Buckingham.
On the morning of Sunday, Dec. 11, The Jazz Sanctuary Quintet performs during the 10 a.m. services at Main Line Unitarian Church, 816 South Valley Forge Road, Devon.
On Thursday, Dec. 15, “Jazz & Joe” returns to Bethlehem Baptist Church, Penllyn Pike and Dager Road, Spring House, with The Jazz Sanctuary Quintet. This free, 90-minute concert performance begins at 7 p.m.
“In December, The Jazz Sanctuary will have been offering free live performances in Philadelphia and its suburbs for 11 years,” said Alan Segal, founder and executive director of The Jazz Sanctuary.
Segal noted that through Jan. 31, The Jazz Sanctuary will match all donations made to the organization. Donations to support the mission of The Jazz Sanctuary continue to be vital to the growth of the organization as it enters its second decade. The Jazz Sanctuary is a nonprofit that brings jazz music free of charge to charitable organizations, community centers, and houses of worship, among others.
Interested donors or sponsors, as well as local townships, houses of worship, community centers or other public venues interested in participating in, or hosting The Jazz Sanctuary live events, are encouraged to contact Segal by at 215-208-7314 or music@thejazzsanctuary.com.
