Greetings Patrons and Lovers of Jazz and The Arts!
The Columbus Jazz Society would like to formally invite you to The Annual CJS Soirée 2025 on January 11th (Saturday) 6-9pm at The Loft Greenroom. We would be honored if you would join us in celebrating Columbus' "Giants of Jazz" at this gala which includes dinner and a live concert from the 17-piece band "The Cavaliers Orchestra". The honorees Jan Hyatt, David Morgan, and James Evans will be presented with the prestigious "CJS Jazz Legends Awards” sponsored by Everything Musical. If you would like to purchase tickets for you and your guests, they are available on this link: https://tickets.thelocalcolumbus.com/events/the-annual-cjs-soire-2025-1-11-2025
In this past year, we have truly proven that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Together, we are ensuring that our children and future generations can enjoy the beauty of Columbus jazz. As we build more bridges within our community, we allow music, arts, and their patrons to flourish and grow with each other. Artists and audiences depend on each other to be able to perform their best every day. Since I was elected president of the CJS, my first concerns were to get artists paid for their work and make sure audiences came home knowing there’s more to life than the daily grind. Now we are able to go further by doing community work with our local charities and schools, as well as providing scholarships again. This is all thanks to the hard work and dedication of our artists, musicians, partners, members, and audiences. As we bring in the new year, please don’t forget to renew your annual CJS memberships. This can be done directly on our website or during our monthly meetings every 2nd Sunday 4pm at The Goetchius House. We look forward to seeing you all at The Annual CJS Soirée 2025 on January 11th (Saturday) 6-9pm at The Loft Greenroom!

What is a silent disco!?
A silent disco is a party where people dance to music played through wireless headphones instead of a speaker system. The music is broadcast via a radio transmitter, and the headphones pick up the signal. People without headphones can't hear the music, creating the illusion that no music is playing.
Some benefits of silent discos include personalized experience, sensory processing and noise complaints.
