LISTEN: Jazz & a Mission returns

A monthly concert series that pairs live music with community impact returns for its third year this Friday at Seacobeck Hall at the University of Mary Washington. Each month, the series organized by Matt Little shines a spotlight on a different local non-profit, raising both awareness and support through music.

The season opener will highlight FAILSAFE-ERA, with performances from Matt Little, David Bronston & Friends, and the UMW Chamber Choir. Organizers say the concerts have become a way for the community to gather, enjoy diverse musical talent, and give back to organizations making a difference across the region.
