Jazzmania 2012

The Nashville Jazz Workshop announces Jazzmania 2012, its annual fall jazz party and fundraiser. The event will again be held in Jamison Hall at The Factory in Franklin and will occur on Sunday, October 21, from 4:00 to 8:00 pm

Jazzmania 2012 is the Jazz Party of the Year and will feature food from around the world from TomKats Catering, complementary wine and beer from Lipman Brothers, and music from some of Nashville's finest jazz artists: The Jeff Steinberg Orchestra, vocalist Liz Johnson, and drummer Marcus Finnie!

A special feature of the the event is a live and silent auction, with unique and desirable items that include tickets to top events, special dinner packages, in-home concerts, artwork by the city's top artists, and much more. The signature feature of our silent auction is Small Works a collection of 5" x 7" canvases with paintings by some of the area's top artists, produced especially for this event. Guests will enjoy browsing the works and placing bids on their top picks in fun competition with other patrons - the ultimate proceeds going entirely to benefit the mission of the school.

The ticket price includes food from around the world and complimentary wine. Tickets are $100 reserved seating, and $75 general admission. They will go on sale on Monday, Sept 10.

The Factory is located at 230 Franklin Road, Franklin, TN 37065.
