  • The camaraderie between the jazz aficionados attending the shows, as well as, the volunteers & staff is always such a great experience for me The opportunity to hear new music and interact with some of the musicians is also wonderful! I love the positive energy this festival brings to the city of Reading.

    — Ann Marie M.

  • Berks Arts Council is one of the best organizations to volunteer for.

    — Gloria S.

  • It’s a great way to give back to the community. Also, it's fun and you get to hear lots of great music and meet nice people.

    — Neal S.

  • The Art of Jazz exhibition is designed to let visual artists translate various media, various ideas, and concepts through the musical experience of jazz. It's a great way to celebrate artists that do visual art and sort of celebrate the attitude and the personality of jazz.

    — Tim Compton, artistic director at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts.
