The 43rd annual Elmhurst College Jazz Festival happens again this February 26th-28th on the campus located in suburban Elmhurst. Some of the best college jazz bands in the country converge on the Elmhurst campus for three days of performances and education. The bands take turns performing for some of the greatest names in professional jazz today, who offer critiques and award a variety of honors. The professionals cap off each night of the Festival with a rousing performance of their own.
For the college bands, the Festival offers a great opportunity to learn from some of today’s greatest jazz musicians. For the audience, it’s a chance to hear both college bands and jazz greats.
The current Elmhurst College Jazz Festival rose from the ashes of the American College Jazz Festival which took place at eight regional sites throughout the United States, one of which was Elmhurst College. The national festival disbanded in 1973, but the Elmhurst Festival continued—and grew, both in size and in stature.
