CareFusion Jazz Festival New York Announces Schedule

Today, festival producer George Wein and medical device company CareFushion announced the schedule for the 2010 CareFusion Jazz Festival New York.  The Festival will take place June 17 - 26 with 45 concerts at 20 venues, full schedule below. 

“I am grateful that CareFusion came forward to re-ignite the tradition of New York’s annual jazz festival in June. With more than 1,000 jazz events taking place throughout New York every month, it’s an exciting challenge to program a 10-night festival, said Mr. Wein, CEO of New Festival Productions, LLC. “We booked the festival using the underlying theme of “accentuate the positive,” which includes partnering with some of the city’s hottest venues from Manhattan to Queens, from Brooklyn to the Bronx. Together, we have booked a stellar festival filled with great music for all tastes and at all prices.”

Tickets for concerts at Carnegie Hall and The Town Hall go on sale Monday, March 22. For more information on events and tickets, please visit www.nycjazzfestival.com.
