Medford Jazz Festival Day 2

Saturday, August 17 @ 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Free

The third annual Medford Jazz Festival moves to the West Medford Community Center for its second day of performances. At 1 p.m., the Ally Project featuring former Medford poet laureate Terry E. Carter will combine music and verse. At 3 p.m., pianist Anastassiya Petrova and other recent graduates of Medford native Terri Lyne Carrington’s Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice will perform.

Admission is free, though donations to support the festival are gratefully accepted.

The festival concludes on Sunday, also at the WMCC, with saxophonist Jim Repa and his nonet playing at 3 p.m., and the Kevin Harris Project with Jason Palmer concluding at 5 p.m.

Jazz pianist Jonathan Fagan launched the Medford Jazz Festival in October 2020 with a five-day event showcasing the cultural diversity, creativity and talent of local musicians through several virtual concerts. In-person jam sessions were initiated in December 2021, and the first in-person Jazz Festival followed in October 2022.
