Our Mission
Jazz Yukon’s mandate is to promote and present jazz in the Yukon through an annual integrated program of live jazz presentations and jazz education outreach.
Jazz Yukon has over 15 years experience producing jazz performances in several communities across the territory, featuring groups from across Canada, internationally and, each season, Yukon musicians. Since 1998 we have presented 91 shows, including 22 shows in rural Yukon, northern B.C. and Alaskan communities and co-produced 3 shows. In addition, we have organized 158 outreach sessions involving more than 3400 people, varying from school shows to group/individual workshops to professional development sessions for musicians/music teachers to jazz appreciation and improvisation programs.
We are exclusively volunteer run, thus our budget shows a relatively small figure for actual administration costs. Revenue is dedicated to implementing cost-effective programming with minimal overhead. Jazz Yukon has been a registered non-profit society since 1991 and, a registered charitable organization since 2005.
