“Over the past 20 years of the Five Points Jazz Festival, we have presented nearly 500 performances,” said Brooke Dilling, Manager of Cultural Programs. “We are thrilled once again to open the call for musicians and continue to support the legacy of jazz and its many iterations in Five Points, Denver, Colorado and beyond, as we look for emerging talent and longtime favorites for next year's event.”
2024 performances will be one hour in length and performers will need to be on-site one hour prior to their performance time for load-in and sound check. The committee will accept musician applications through November 30 and begin making decisions on festival lineup in late January. A musician application in Spanish is also available.
