Organization Overview

For more than 50 years, ArtsWestchester has been the community’s connection to the arts. Founded in 1965, it is the largest, private, not-for-profit arts council in New York State. Its mission is to provide leadership, vision, and support, to ensure the availability, accessibility, and diversity of the arts. ArtsWestchester provides programs and services that enrich the lives of everyone in Westchester County. ArtsWestchester helps fund concerts, exhibitions and plays through grants; brings artists into schools and community centers; advocates for the arts; and builds audiences through diverse marketing initiatives. In 1998, ArtsWestchester purchased the nine-story neo-classical bank building at 31 Mamaroneck Avenue which has since been transformed into a multi-use resource for artists, cultural organizations, and the community. A two-story gallery is located on the first floor of ArtsWestchester’s historic building on Mamaroneck Avenue.

Jazz Fest 2018 | Emmet Cohen Trio

Thursday, September 13, 2018
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Recognized as prodigy who began playing at age three, Multifaceted American jazz pianist and composer Emmet Cohen has emerged as one of his generation's pivotal figures in music. Downbeat observed that his “nimble touch, measured stride and warm harmonic vocabulary indicate he’s above any convoluted technical showmanship. Instead, the dalliances with rapid-fire notes and recurring chord bundles seem a product of youthful enthusiasm and in-progress maturation.” He has already shared the bandstand with Christian McBride, Joshua Redman, Patti Austin, Maceo Parker, Billy Hart, Anat Cohen and others.
