🎷 WELCOME TO THE 8th ANNUAL 2027 NATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL

April 15 - 17 2027

NJF is excited to announce our 8th year celebrating jazz performance, education, and creativity. NJF 2027 provides 3 days of exciting events for vocal and instrumental Jazz ensembles of all ages and abilities. Over the past 7 years the historic city of Philadelphia, PA has provided NJF participants opportunities to collaborate with students of Jazz from all over the USA, Puerto Rico and Great Britain while discovering the treasures of our nations birthplace.                                                                          

To get started your ensemble must register as one of the four NJF Program 1 divisions below. Please use the registration links below to register your students and ensembles for the 2027 National Jazz Festival.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

There are four separate registration divisions:

🎺 Instrumental Division

🎤Vocal Division

🎙️Vocal Solo Division

🎧Recording Arts Division

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION

EACH CATEGORY HAS ITS OWN REGISTRATION FORM.

YOU MAY INCLUDE MULTIPLE ENSEMBLES ON ONE FORM ONLY IF THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE SAME DIVISION.

YOU CANNOT COMBINE DIFFERENT DIVISIONS ON ONE FORM. IF YOU ARE REGISTERING FOR MORE THAN ONE DIVISION, YOU MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH DIVISION.

For example:

• Multiple Instrumental Ensembles (ex. Large Ensemble + Combo) → ✅ May be registered together

• Multiple Vocal Ensembles (ex. Large Group + A Cappella) → ✅ May be registered together

• Vocal Ensemble + Instrumental Ensemble → ❌ Must be registered separately

• Instrumental + Recording Arts → ❌ Must be registered separately

• Vocal Ensemble + Vocal Soloist → ❌ Must be registered separately

*Vocal ensembles and vocal soloists must be registered separately. If a school has multiple vocal soloists, all soloists may be registered together on the Vocal Solo Registration form. However, the Vocal Solo Registration form must still be submitted separately from the Vocal Ensemble Registration form.

IN SHORT: MULTIPLE ENSEMBLES CAN BE REGISTERED TOGETHER ONLY WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME DIVISION. DIFFERENT DIVISIONS REQUIRE DIFFERENT FORMS.

Please be sure to select the appropriate registration division and complete all required information before submitting.

Thank you for joining us for the 2027 National Jazz Festival — we can't wait to meet you! 🎶 Once you complete this form you may add our exciting "additional programs" taking place on April 15 - 17. QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR REGISTRATION?
