Innovation Islands: Wild Music
Join Innovation Islands mini-grant recipient New England Jazz Collaborative for this unique Jazz experience on Georges Island!
Wild Music returns to Georges Island! Join the New England Jazz Collaborative and trailblazing producer Cj Kelley for a day of musical exploration and enjoy the serene beauty of Georges Island, all while supporting Greater Boston’s world-class jazz musicians and celebrating the rich history of Boston Harbor Islands.
Presented in partnership with Boston Harbor Now and the National Park Service, this unique outdoor musical experience features a nature-themed live performance by renowned jazz guitarist/composer Eric Hofbauer and his all-star ensemble – fresh off their sold-out Regattabar show – followed by impromptu solo and duo performances in scenic locations around the island.
