Partner With New York Jazz Workshop

Reach a passionate, educated, culturally engaged audience in New York City and beyond.

Who We Are

The New York Jazz Workshop has been Manhattan’s premier music school since 2008. Located in the heart of Midtown, steps from Times Square and Penn Station, we serve over 4,000 students annually through private lessons, weekly group classes, summer intensives, and international music retreats in Italy, Brazil, and Japan.

We are more than a school — we are a community. Our students are working professionals, creative thinkers, and lifelong learners who share a passion for music and culture. Our faculty are world-class musicians affiliated with Juilliard, NYU, Manhattan School of Music, and the Lincoln Center Jazz program.

A partnership with NYJW connects your brand with this community — through our concerts, programs, digital platforms, and a newsletter with an unusually high engagement rate.

Our Audience — By the Numbers

Our audience skews toward educated, culturally active adults aged 25–55, concentrated in New York City with significant reach across the US and internationally — especially during our summer intensive and international retreat seasons.

Live Concert Series — Manhattan

We host a monthly jazz concert series at our Midtown facility and partner venues across New York City. Our 2026 concert calendar is active now through May, with programs still available for sponsorship. Each concert is promoted through our website, email newsletter, and social media in the weeks leading up to the event.

Concert sponsorship is ideal for brands seeking live event visibility with a sophisticated NYC audience. We can customize the series theme, artist selection, and event format around your brand’s values and goals.

Monthly concerts scheduled through May 2026 — immediate availability
Promotion begins 3–4 weeks before each event across email and social media
Option to co-brand the entire series or sponsor individual concerts
Your logo on all event materials, social posts, and email announcements
Optional: complimentary tickets for your team or clients

International Music Retreats

Each year NYJW leads immersive music retreats abroad. In 2026 we have programs in Italy (Tuscany, June) and Japan (Kyoto, September). These programs attract dedicated musicians and music lovers who travel internationally specifically to participate — a high-value, high-engagement audience.

International retreat sponsorship is ideal for travel brands, instrument makers, lifestyle products, airlines, and cultural organizations seeking an aspirational, culturally rich association.

Italy: Jazz Improvisation Camp in Tuscany — June 2026
Japan: Kyoto Jazz Immersion — September 2026
Brand placement in pre-departure communications, on-location signage, and post-trip content
Product placement opportunities at the retreat (instruments, gear, food & beverage, wellness)
Post-program photo and video content featuring your brand for social and blog use

Our email newsletter reaches over 5,000 opted-in subscribers with an open rate above 50% — more than double the industry average for arts and education organizations. Our blog reaches jazz students, educators, and enthusiasts worldwide.

Newsletter and blog sponsorship is ideal for brands that want consistent, targeted digital visibility without the noise of general social media advertising. Your brand appears in a trusted, curated environment that our audience genuinely reads.

Newsletter: your logo and a short message in monthly sends
Blog: dedicated product review or feature article written by NYJW editorial staff
Option for a dedicated email blast to the full subscriber list
All content is authentic — we only feature products and brands we would genuinely recommend to our community

Education Programs & Workshops

Support a specific workshop, summer intensive, or teen program and align your brand with music education. Particularly meaningful for brands in the music industry (instruments, software, gear), education technology, or family-oriented products.

We are a founder-led organization with 18 years in New York City’s music community. That means fast decisions, personal relationships, and genuine flexibility. You’ll work directly with Marco Chelo, Co-Founder — not an agency or account manager.

Interested? Let’s Talk.

We’d love to learn about your brand and explore how a partnership could work for both of us. No commitment required for an initial conversation.
