"It’s very easy for me to express my feelings after nine days of magical moments at 300 shows – pure exhilaration," said John Nugent, Producer and Artistic Director. "It has been an amazing nine days of fascinating performances. Steering a ship of passengers on an annual voyage through new musical discoveries is what it’s all about. I’ve encountered thousands of RIJF patrons who have expressed their gratitude and thanks for the opportunity to hear so many exceptional artists express themselves through their music. Along with our entire festival team, Marc and I work diligently to deliver the highest level of artistry we can secure in order to deliver great value to our patrons every year.
"We pledge to continue to place a creative spotlight on Rochester, New York, as the home of one of the most well-organized jazz festivals on this planet. Thank you to the artists, our entire staff, transportation, PR, logistics, hospitality, volunteers, and, of course, the hundreds of thousands of devoted music lovers. Thank you for your support. Have a great summer ahead, and we’ll see YOU on Jazz Street for our 21st Edition, June 21-29th, 2024!
