Vermont Students Take Center Stage at Jazz Festival

Get ready for a jazz explosion in Burlington next June — nearly 1,000 Vermont students will take over Church Street at the Discover Jazz Festival, performing free live jazz in 44 school groups. Organized by The Flynn, this student showcase brings together young musicians from across the state and beyond, spotlighting their talent and passion. Alongside them, legendary jazz curator Jason Moran brings in big-name ticketed acts, including a special performance of “My Heart Sings: Jason Moran Plays Duke Ellington,” featuring Vermont Youth Orchestra jazz ensemble members and South Burlington native Rachel Ambaye — studying directly with Moran. It’s a powerful celebration of jazz’s living legacy, passed from generation to generation, right in the heart of the community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
