About Coastal Jazz & Blues Society
The story of Coastal Jazz and Blues Society is the story of determination, passion, idealism, community and, of course, music. Founded in 1985, the Society has worked diligently to establish Vancouver, BC as a centre for the creation and exchange of sounds and ideas between the local, national and international music communities.
Our mission is to connect, transform, inspire and nurture artists and audiences through the joy, passion, and power of jazz, blues and the improvised arts.
Today, the Society ranks as BC’s largest non-profit festival presenter producing the annual Vancouver International Jazz Festival, year-round concerts and education activities. Along with music presentation, the Society has a long standing commitment to music education including the Sounds of Youth performance stage, regular workshops and master classes for youth and adults by visiting international artists, children’s programming and more.
