Made In New York Jazz Gala Returns to Celebrate a Night of Talent

The Made In New York International Jazz Gala is making its highly anticipated return to New York City on May 31, featuring Grammy-winning artists performing at the Manhattan School of Music.

In 2013, Made In New York introduced the first online-based, global jazz competition, followed by the annual International Jazz Gala at the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center, Made In New York Jazz Festival in Montenegro, and multiple independent shows mostly held in the US. Made In New York debuted in 2010 and was founded by jazz aficionado and music producer Michael Brovkine.

“New York City is renowned for its exceptional jazz community, brimming with remarkable artists, adept producers, time-honored traditions, and engaging educational programs. The city’s electrifying atmosphere sparks imagination and drives extraordinary accomplishments. In today’s world of advanced social media and internet connectivity, it’s essential to ‘share’ the inimitable spirit of New York City and celebrate its vibrant jazz culture with the global community.”

One of the most prestigious Jazz events, gala has hosted an incredible lineup of rising jazz talents, including competition participants like Jesús Molina and João Barradas, alongside jazz legends such as Randy Brecker, Lenny White, John Patitucci, and Al Foster, to name a few. With artists from 20+ countries, the event continues to showcase jazz’s resilience and the Made In New York brand’s ability to innovate and thrive, even in the face of global challenges.

More than just a concert, this event has launched the careers of emerging artists, providing a platform for them to perform, collaborate, and connect with the biggest names in jazz.

The Made In New York Jazz Gala has become a global platform for musicians, featuring artists from Canada, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Poland, Montenegro, Chile, New Zealand, Israel, France, Germany, Armenia, Hungary, Turkey, and beyond.
