Registration is Live for 2026-2027

The Cincinnati Jazz Academy is currently accepting registrations for students in grades 7-12 for the 2026-2027 school year*. Registrations will be accepted through Friday, August 7th, 2026. The registration link can be accessed here.

New this year, all students will play for artistic director Ralph Disylvestro to be placed in one of the three big bands, along with consideration to be in one of our three small combos. Auditions will take place the week of August 25, with the day of audition being shared with parents no later than August 19, 2026.

Please also take note of the Ice Cream Social taking place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 from 6-8 pm. There, families will have the chance to meet with Mr. DiSylvestro, ask questions, and will sign important paperwork to start the school year.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Brandon Graves, Program Manager, at brandon@kennedyarts.org with any questions.

*With the exception of students who were in Jazz Academy in the 2025-2026 school year, any students 4-6 grade will begin at a later date.
