Our Mission
To promote the appreciation of Jazz and Blues art forms.
To create increased opportunities for established and aspiring musicians.
Welcome
The Mesilla Valley Jazz & Blues Society is a registered nonprofit organization. It was established in 2006. Listeners as well as musicians are welcome.
​
The Society meets the third Sunday of each month. Due to our mission to promote Jazz and Blues, we feature a live music performance at each meeting. There is a fee for the meeting and moneys are paid to the band.
​
The Society promotes talented musicians through our scholarship funds which are: the Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues Society Bob Burns Scholarship and the Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues Society Helen Sachs Helder Vocal Jazz Scholarship.
​
Meetings are $5 for members, $10 for nonmembers, and $2 for students. Annual memberships are $25 for individuals, $40 for families (2 people), and $5 for students. After June all memberships are half-price.
​
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting!
