The New Orleans Arts and Cultural Host Committee (NOACHC) has been presenting Jazz Camp since 2000 and enjoys mutually beneficial relationships with many local, national and international organizations. In an era when public schools are forced to cut back on arts and music education, there is a need to offer projects, which promote creative thinking and expressions. The NOACHC, Jazz Camp faculty, staff, along with our partners, sponsors and supporters are committed to providing young people with productive activities to keep them positively involved. The discipline employed in learning music is a character-building skill, which is useful throughout life.
NOACHC greatly cherishes and appreciates the many individuals and philanthropic organizations that have and continue to support our efforts. The development of strategic partnerships has insured the success and longevity of the camp.
The Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation (New York) is the primary sponsor and supporter of Jazz Camp. Louis and Lucille Armstrong created this foundation. All assets from their estate were left to the Foundation. The camp’s biggest cheerleader was the late Phoebe Jacobs. Mrs. Jacobs was a publicist, Jazz historian, and friend to the world’s most gifted and prominent Jazz artists. Phoebe Jacobs served as the executive vice president of the Armstrong Foundation until her death. The New York based organization is dedicated to supporting Jazz education and perpetuating the legacy and contributions of both Louis and Lucille Armstrong.
