Jazz Performance and Education Centre

dedication through performance, education and advancement of jazz among young and not-so-young. officially incorporated in 2008 as a non-profit charitable organization. jpec was born when jazz aficionados raymond and rochelle koskie assembled a committee of fellow enthusiasts, who, over the course of 10 years has committed itself to jazz by: • petitioning for a full-time, non-profit performing music/arts hub in toronto, including a detailed plan as to how this could benefit toronto. • coordinating the support of a group of non-profit arts organizations towards this goal. • developing a school education outreach program that sends musicians to conduct workshops in schools with little or no music program. • presenting over 50 concerts in the past decade to a strong jazz fan base.
