5th Annual Kennett Jazz and Funk Fest to Benefit If Not for Music

The Kennett Jazz and Funk Fest is Chester County’s premier celebration of jazz and funk. Each year dozens of musicians and hundreds of listeners descend on Kennett Square, Pennsylvania for the three-day festival that showcases exceptional jazz and funk artists, supports local talent, partners with community organizations, and fosters an environment where music can be experienced, celebrated and shared by all. 

And If Not for Music has been selected as the beneficiary of next year's event.  All net proceeds will go to support our Gift of Music Mission. Our selection followed a meeting with Fest Co-Founders Jeff Piscitello, Tom Patti and Dave Mattock (an INFM Board Member) and INFM’s Board Chair Roger Mustalish. “We are so thrilled to be the beneficiary of next year's Fest. It will help us secure critical funds in support of our work,” noted Mustalish. Dave Mattock added, “The Fest has a proven record of success and aligns perfectly with the mission of If Not for Music.”
