Live Jazz Lives in Central Illinois

Since its 1978 inception in Peoria, Illinois, Central Illinois Jazz Society (CIJS) has provided countless opportunities for jazz musicians to perform and for fans — new and old — to enjoy their favorite music.

Membership

CIJS members help support our live jazz programs and the local music scene, and memberships provide for the sustainability of the organization. They are also the reason the organization exists and is able to promote such amazing local artists. Photo by Natalie Jackson

 

CIJS welcomes any volunteers who would like to support our mission with their time, RESOURCES or input.
