The Deer Isle Jazz Festival has been a cornerstone of Opera House Arts' year round programming since 2001. Co-founded with national jazz and cultural critic Larry Blumenfeld, the Festival has, in its 20-year history, hosted both international jazz stars as part of the National Endowment for the Arts' Jazz Masters Series; up and coming artists including the young Jason Moran; and Maine-based jazz talent, with a particular annual focus on spotlighting the George Stevens Academy's award-winning combos. In this short vodcast, the second in OHA's series, we speak directly with artists Jason Moran and Min Xiao-Fen, as well as with Larry Blumenfeld, Stu Kestenbaum, and more.
Opera House Arts at the 1912 Stonington Opera House, on the National Register of Historic Places, has been producing live professional and community theater, and first run movies, in the restored Opera House since 2000. Its mission is to use the performing arts to foster and promote excellence in all the ways we perform our lives: Incite Art, Create Community.
