OUR MISSION

Founded in 1996, the Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster a greater awareness and love for jazz by teaching and performing this great American art form in schools. To cooperate and correspond with other jazz-oriented groups locally and around the nation and to assist in the organization of similar societies for the growth, appreciation, and perpetuation of jazz music.

The Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society presents Jazz to the public in a variety of ways, including: festivals, performances, free jams, hands-on workshops, clinics and community education and outreach initiatives.

Our objectives are to foster a greater awareness and enjoyment of jazz in the community through education and performances, to provide scholarships to deserving students who wish to further their knowledge and skill in the music field.
