Jazz Maui, a program of Arts Education for Children Group (AECG), is a nonprofit organization that provides high-quality jazz music performances and educational opportunities for residents, music students, aspiring and professional musicians, and jazz music enthusiasts on the island of Maui. Through their Sunset Jazz Series, Jazz Maui showcases an all-star lineup of local and visiting professional jazz musicians in an open-air pavilion, offering top-notch music every Sunday from 5-7 PM at the Maui Ku'ia Estate Chocolate Factory in Lahaina. Proceeds from concert ticket sales support Jazz Maui's music education programs, benefiting the local community. Jazz Maui also organizes special events and collaborations, such as the Sunset Jazz Celebrates Black History Month and the Jazz Night at The Empanada Lady, providing a platform for talented musicians to perform and connect with the audience. Additionally, Jazz Maui supports local musicians who have been affected by recent fires on the island, creating paying jobs for them through organized events and using music as therapy for traumatized residents. With a focus on jazz instruction and performance, Jazz Maui's Virtual Jazz in the Schools program serves as a valuable supplement to in-school music programs, offering live online learning opportunities for students.Generated from the website
