Brownville Jazz Retreat

01/16/2021

Greetings Jazz Family,
We hope you and your family are healthy and safe as we all continue to be gravely affected by this pandemic.

We at the Brownville Jazz Retreat thank you so much for your interest. Your response to this rare music education opportunity has been amazing.
The pandemic has wreaked havoc on our planned programing and because of this the Brownville Jazz Retreat will be suspended until we can see a way clear that insures the health of our participants as well as the success program.
Thanks to all of you who have registered. We are now working on reimbursing your funds and once we have established our new dates, you’ll be the first to be given the opportunity to reserve your place.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
Stay safe and healthy.
Best
Tammy McCann
Executive Director
