Thanks to support from the Free Library of Philadelphia, and from the Philadelphia Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, we are proud to bring you the Lovett Loves Jazz! concert series in April 2023!



Each week in April, Lovett will host a  special Jazz concert, free to the public, in its beautiful multi-purpose event space. These performances will feature a dynamic list of musicians who reside in Northwest Philadelphia, in neighborhoods such as Mt. Airy, Germantown, and West Oak Lane. This part of the city has long been home to a diverse array of artists. These talented performers deserve the support of the community, and the community deserves to have access to outstanding live music! See the full schedule of performances below and note that we are trying to make these events as accessible as possible. We will have one dedicated event meant for student performers, and all performances are free-admission and appropriate for all-ages.
