Club Pass Venue Update
Rochester, NY, May 4, 2023—The CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival announced today an update on a Club Pass Venue. The Club Pass Global Jazz Now series, formerly held at Glory House International, is moving to Christ Church, a long-time favorite festival venue in the heart of our footprint on East Avenue. Christ Church will provide for greater seating capacity and has undergone extensive renovations since the Festival was last there in 2019,
"We have enjoyed working with Glory House International and the Lutheran Church over the years, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future," said CGI Rochester International Jazz Festival Executive Director and co-producer, Marc Iacona.
