PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES, February 1, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Jazz Sanctuary, Philadelphia’s innovative non-profit performing arts group, continues their mission of bringing jazz music to the community through performance at community gatherings with five free, live performances in Philly and its suburbs this month.

“We started 2023 with gusto, energy and a wonderful end to our match period for donations, raising over $8,740,” said Alan Segal, founder and Executive Director of The Jazz Sanctuary. “As of January 31, we have 40 events booked for this year, including this month’s schedule, as we build to our 750th live concert this summer.

“As always, we continue to search for sponsors for The Jazz Sanctuary, as well as new venues and additional donor support,” Segal noted. “All our work is in support of our mission of bringing jazz music to the community, supporting other charitable organizations, and providing a practical form of educational development for those who study music at any level. In addition, we’ve led the way in Philadelphia by paying all of the musicians who perform with The Jazz Sanctuary a fair rate for their efforts, always.”

The second month of The Jazz Sanctuary’s 12th year begins tomorrow night – Thursday, February 2nd - in Morrisville at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation (1505 Makefield Road, Morrisville, PA 19067) with an evening of “Jazz & Joe”, featuring live music, coffee and treats.
