Personally, to have founded this group that has lasted 13 years, and almost 18 years since my brain surgery, I'm still going strong, I'm still out there playing.” - Alan Segal, Founder & Executive Director, The Jazz SanctuaryPHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Philadelphia's most unique non-profit performing arts group, The Jazz Sanctuary , has seven live, free performances throughout Philadelphia and its suburbs in November, including a“doubleheader” to begin the month as well as a concert featuring a local star vocalist performing with a trio.
The Jazz Sanctuary's November performance schedule includes events in Germantown, Glenside, Yardley, Buckingham, Devon, Malvern and Flourtown.
“Our fall season has already been a success with outstanding live audiences throughout the Philadelphia region in both September and October,” said Alan Segal, Founder and Executive Director of The Jazz Sanctuary.
To date, The Jazz Sanctuary has performed over 830 live concert events in the Greater Philadelphia region, at churches, community centers, senior residences, rehabilitation centers and other venues, all free of charge to the attendees.
Recently, Albert Tedesco, Emeritus Professor of the Paul F. Harron Graduate Program in Television & Media Management at Drexel University's Department of Cinema and Television, attended The Jazz Sanctuary's concert at Wyncote's All Hallows Church.
“You folks were never better!,” Tedesco said.“Intimate setting, great music – not to mention great desserts – all made for a wonderfully entertaining evening. Can't wait to repeat. You are expressing the exalted character of The Great American Songbook whenever you play, and we, your audience, are ever grateful.”

Segal recently noted that,“The Jazz Sanctuary is the oldest serving jazz group in the Philly five county area. No one has been together longer than us. There are five musicians who have been with us at least 11 years. Other groups don't perform in the venues that we do. Over the past 12-plus years, we have helped at least 70 churches and other charitable organizations, helping them raise money and bring diverse audiences together under one roof for a fun concert. Personally, to have founded this group that has lasted 13 years, and almost 18 years since my brain surgery, I'm still going strong, I'm still out there playing.”
