An Evening for Jazz, Education & Community
On April 9th, 2026, we invite you to a sophisticated evening dedicated to music, education, and the vibrant cultural life of Cambridge.
The Cambridge Jazz Foundation exists to do more than present great music. We build cultural access, opportunity, and pride throughout the greater Boston region. Through the annual Cambridge Jazz Gala and year-round programming, CJF raises critical funds to keep the festival free and open to the public, while also investing directly in the next generation of artists and leaders.
​
This year, we are proud to honor Sarah Gallop for her exceptional and enduring contributions to our community. It is an occasion to celebrate the power of jazz and ensure its future remains bright for everyone.
