Jahnvi Madan Selected for Emerging Artists Showcase

Seattle JazzED is excited to announce that Development Associate Jahnvi Madan has been selected to perform in the 2023 Washington Women in Jazz Emerging Artist Showcase.

Jahnvi is a musician, activist, and educator. Originally from Bellevue, she spent high school heavily involved in JazzED’s early programs and currently serves in the Development department fulfilling JazzED’s mission to create spaces for equitable music education in the community.

Created by pianist and composer Amy K Bormet in 2011, the Washington Women in Jazz Festival creates equitable performance opportunities for women while uplifting the image of the jazz community and drawing in dynamic new audiences. Bormet and her colleagues develop, promote, and lead a wide array of concerts, jam sessions, lectures, panels, discussions, and masterclasses.

Hosted in Washington DC, the emerging artist showcase is a highlight of the festival and features performances by outstanding women and non-binary jazz students from mid-Atlantic high schools and colleges. Jahnvi will take the stage on March 24th alongside veteran Washington Women in Jazz artists in an evening concert at DC’s historic music spot, Mr. Henry’s.

Please join us in celebrating Jahnvi for this achievement.
