Did you know you can support Chicago Jazz Philharmonic with an automatic monthly recurring gift? This is the best way to help CJP keep its lights on, sustain our staff support, and continue bringing the highest quality of performance and music education programs to you and all Chicagoans.


We invite you to join our newly launched "Jazzical Society", a sustaining donor program which allows you to give to Chicago Jazz Philharmonic year-round on a monthly budget plan that works for you. By committing as little as $15 / month for 12 months (that’s $180 a year), you can enjoy the following benefits:

  • • Exclusive invitation to annual "Jazz Salon" event (a house party or intimate space for jazz listening sessions presented by Orbert Davis and other CJP musicians - lectures, performances, etc.)
  • • 10% off tickets to all CJP Performance events
  • • 10% off merchandise (CDs, t-shirts, etc.)
