Tri-C JazzFest Seeking Volunteers for Festival Weekend
Applications are being accepted online through March 24
Help downtown’s hottest music festival hit all the right notes by volunteering this summer during the 40th anniversary celebration of Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank.
Applications will be accepted online through Sunday, March 24. The online form asks for basic information to align the skills of the individual with the tasks at hand.
Volunteer responsibilities include everything from distributing materials and working backstage to assisting with guest artists. Training may be required for some positions.
All volunteers — new and returning — must complete the application.
“Good volunteers are the heartbeat of any festival,” said Terri Pontremoli, director of Tri-C JazzFest. “They provide support in so many ways — and they have fun, too.”
The 40th annual Tri-C JazzFest runs June 27-29 at Playhouse Square. The festival includes nine ticketed concerts inside the theater district’s historic venues plus a full lineup of free outdoor shows, vendors and food.
Visit www.tri-cjazzfest.com for a schedule of ticketed shows. The 2019 lineup includes Tower of Power, Béla Fleck & The Flecktones, John Scofield, Christian McBride, Dianne Reeves, Jeff Lorber, John Clayton and many others.
Festival passes — which offer VIP seating to all nine ticketed concerts plus other perks — are now on sale. The cost is $250, a $150 savings compared to buying single tickets to all nine shows. Call 216-640-8800 to purchase.
Individual tickets will go on sale April 1 through the Playhouse Square Box Office at 216-241-6000 or at www.playhousesquare.org.
Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland is presented by KeyBank and made possible by Cuyahoga Community College, the National Endowment for the Arts, Ohio Arts Council, Strassman Insurance Services Inc. and a growing list of donors and members.
