Westmoreland Jazz Society

Westmorland Jazz Society In January 1997, the Westmoreland Museum of American Art established the Westmoreland Jazz Society to provide a venue for America's classical music art form -- jazz. Since the Museum's collection is comprised of American art, the connection has made a great combo!

Today, the WJS membership organization has over 200 members and is a vital organization run by volunteers. The Society's mission is to reach out to regional artists by providing a venue for performing.

The WJS meets at the Museum on the third Thursday of the month from September through June for a jazz performance. During its season, the WJS presents many of the finest and most respected jazz musicians of the region.

Jazz has found a home at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art. But to keep the music playing, we need your support -- consider taking a membership or join us on the third Thursday of the month.

All performances take place at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art at 7:30. Tickets are available at the door: $10 for WJS members, $15 non-members, $3 students. Call 724/837-1500 ext. 27 for membership information or erdelsky@wmuseumaa.org.

The Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA) support the 2007-2008 jazz season, the regional arts funding partnership of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. State government funding comes through an annual appropriation by Pennsylvania's General Assembly and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency. PPA is administered in this region by the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance (PRAA).
