This annual Festival is an artist-oriented event of 24 concerts
and 10 educational programs featuring many of today's most renowned
jazz and international musicians. Critics and musicians alike have
hailed it as "one of the finest festivals in the country," to quote
Gil Goldstein, one of last year's performers. A centerpiece of Foundation
activities, this immense festival focuses attention squarely on
Santa Fe's already formidable reputation as an arts destination
and assists in building an active, accessible, year-round music
community here. Thanks to National Public Radio and some newly formed
Open Arts partnerships with several educational institutions, over
2 million listeners this year will have access to Festival programming.
