About the Peoples Health New Orleans Jazz Market:

The focus of this year's silent auction is NOJO's youth education programs. The Irvin Mayfield School of Music is a year-round, affordable music education initiative that includes a weekly Spring/Fall Saturday Program and a three-week intensive Summer Program. The programs are open to students of all musical levels. The Saturday Program is free for all students, and the Summer Program costs only a $75 registration fee per summer. The primary goal of IMSOM is to provide comprehensive and diverse music education experiences for children, ages 8-17, who are currently enrolled in Greater New Orleans area schools.
