This month’s Jazz Jam celebrates with the Winona International Friendship Center as they prepare to send a group of students to Winona’s Japanese sister city, Misato. The monthly Jazz Jam takes place in the taproom at Island City Brewing Company on Sunday, March 17 from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m.
11 exemplary students from Bluffview Montessori School, Cotter Schools, La Crescent/Hokah High School, Winona Middle School, Winona Senior High School, and home-school will be the first group of student ambassadors to visit Winona’s sister city Misato, Japan since 2019. Seven 8th graders and four seniors have been waiting to go to Japan since their trip in 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic.
H3O Jazz Trio and Island City Brewing have helped support local nonprofits with over $45,000 in total donations thanks to the generosity of Jazz Jam patrons! The February Jazz Jam contributed over $2,000 in support of the Winona Symphony Orchestra’s annual Children’s Concert. All Jazz Jam donations are matched by H3O and Island City.
Everyone wishing to sing, play, or cheer on their friends is welcome to join the H3O Jazz Trio at Island City Brewing Company’s monthly Jazz Jam! Interested players can choose from a wide selection of songs. Music is available from the Hal Leonard Real Book series, bring your own music, or just name that tune!
Come early to enjoy a beverage in Island City’s spacious taproom and enjoy an afternoon of great jazz with H3O Jazz Trio and friends … all while showing your support for our community! An up-to-date schedule is always available at H3OJazz.com. The family-friendly Jazz Jam is free and open to all – young and not so young.
