With performances that spill out from the concert halls to the university campus, local coffee shops and taverns, and this year into the great outdoors, Jazz and Classics continues its mission of reaching out to the broader community, with instructional workshops, programs in the schools, free lunchtime brown bag concerts, and other family-friendly programs for people of all ages and economic backgrounds.<\/p>\n
