My name is Courtney Harge. I'm an arts & culture worker and Brooklyn resident. I'm working with Yaa Asantewaa Nzingha, Jahi Kassa Taharqa, and other dedicated volunteers to produce a jazz concert for youth.

We're raising funds to host a jazz concert to connect Bed-Stuy’s children to the rich musical legacy that is jazz. This event will feature celebrated musicians and engaging activities designed to deepen the connection between Black youth and Black music.

Your support will help us cover:

While our initial goal of $2,400 will allow us to host the event, our stretch goal is $5,000! That will allow us to not only cover the expenses we've listed above, but also produce this critical event a second time.

This event is more than a concert – it’s an opportunity to expose our youth to live jazz in their own neighborhood, fostering a love of music, culture, and community. Every dollar gets us closer to making this event a reality.
