Events and Schedules in These Unprecented Days
We've suspended all our events until further notice in accordance with government direction.
The health and well-being of the people around us are more important than anything.
If it's possible, we'll reschedule our 3 Spring shows for later in Spring or into the Summer.
We'll let you know right away as we're able to get our events back up and running.

~ Your Membership Support Matters! ~
We could sure use your support to hire these musicians + the venue! Please consider joining or renewing RIGHT NOW ONLINE or at the door. Your membership support is VITAL to making COHJS events happen, and offering decent compensation to the musicians who learn + share this great music. Door admissions usually cover maybe 35-45% of the cost of a show. Most of the rest comes from memberships, and a bit more from The Columbus Foundation grant and Ohio Living's sponsorship.
For $20 a year you get $5 off the regular show admission and our newsletter - - but what you really get is doing your bit to keep hot jazz and dance live + local!
Ohio Living Westminster-Thurber is a Proud Sponsor of Hot Jazz + Dance, Live and Near Home! For more about our senior living + services, please call 614.228.8888 or visit www.OhioLiving.org
COJHS is grateful for the generous support of The Columbus Foundation Community Arts Fund and the Ingram-White Castle Foundation.
And we're ALSO grateful for the generous support of The Greater Columbus Arts Council for their generous support.
