Do you remember your high school music classes as some of the most fun classes you took? If so, consider supporting the future of music in Berkeley's local high schools this Sunday!
On May 18, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, the Fourth Street Shops, Berkeleyside, and others will be hosting the 19th Annual Jazz on Fourth benefit music festival for Berkeley High School's Jazz Program. The event is free for the public and will feature jazz performances by:
BHS Ensemble and Combos
Ed Reed
Sista Monica Parker
Tito y su Son de Cuba
Over the past 18 years, the Jazz on Fourth festival has raised over $165,000 for the Berkeley High School Jazz program. And this year, local businesses will be getting involved as well, by donating to the event's raffle and lining the streets with fun merchandise and activities. There will also be special kids menus at certain restaurants, with free face painting for kids and professional photos being taken courtesy of Photolab.
From the FourthStreet website:
Jazz on Fourth is an shinning example of the high value the Berkeley business community places on supporting the arts in our public schools, but more than that, it's an exciting musical event---a FREE outdoor jazz festival that's fun for the entire family. Come join us and hear why Berkeley High School's Jazz Ensemble and combos enjoy such a great reputation." -Sarah Cline, BHS Jazz Director. Website & Music here
