Presented by Let My Children Hear Music/The Charles Mingus Institute, the Charles Mingus Festival welcomes you to celebrate the musical legacy of Great American Composer Charles Mingus!

Now in its 13th year, in partnership with the School for Jazz & Contemporary Music at The New School’s College of Performing Arts, the Charles Mingus Festival provides a platform for young musicians to explore their voices through Mingus Music. Shifting to the digital stage for the first time, this year’s Mingus Virtual Festival brings the experience of Mingus Music and New York City to young students, musicians, and audiences across the globe.

Festival weekend will feature virtual performances by students and professionals, instrumental master classes, skill building workshops, interviews, historical films, a celebration of Mingus Mondays, and a look into Mingus' epic masterwork, Epitaph.

Join us in celebration of Mingus Music!
