Year-Round Jazz Events
In addition to the Pittsfield CityJazz Festival, Berkshires Jazz presents concerts all year throughout Berkshire County.
Many of our events are free, and all events are offered at accessible prices thanks to the support of generous sponsors and donors.
We've been fortunate to present jazz masters like Dave Brubeck, Randy Weston, Phil Woods, and Billy Taylor — as well as rising stars like alto saxophonist Grace Kelly, the amazing pianist Miro Sprague, and a whole host of jazz prodigies.
