San Francisco Jazz Organization

San Francisco Jazz Organization (SFJAZZ) presents more than 100 performances that reach 80,000 audience members annually. Best known for the San Francisco Jazz Festival, a multi-week concert series each fall presenting jazz artists from around the world, the organization also presents a five-month spring season of concerts, films, and education events, and Summerfest, a series of free public concerts throughout the Bay Area. All of its programs will be integrated under one roof when SFJAZZ opens the doors to its first permanent home, the $50 million SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco's Hayes Valley in fall 2012, a milestone that represents a new level of organizational maturity and responsibility for the organization.
