Our living legacy
The Jazz & Heritage Foundation has a close relationship with assets it supports all year long. These longstanding institutions of heritage are beloved in the community and worldwide.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival is firmly established as a singular celebration of both historic and contemporary significance.
The fully renovated facility includes 7 state-of-the-art classrooms outfitted for music instruction, a 200-seat auditorium, and a recording studio..
The Archive is the repository of materials and information from the Foundation’s various programs and activities — including Jazz Fest.
Jazz & Heritage Center
The George and Joyce Wein Jazz and Heritage Center is our education and performance facility.
Calling All volunteers!
We are always happy to meet new friends who want to support the music and culture of New Orleans. If you would like to know more about volunteer opportunities, please contact us to learn more about opportunities to get involved.
When the fest is over, our work is just beginning.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation is the nonprofit that owns the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival presented by Shell. We use the proceeds from Jazz Fest, and other funds, for year-round programs to support our music and culture.
