Hip Hop & represents an annual season focus highlighting hip hop’s intersection with other genres, forms, and disciplines. It is dedicated to celebrating the multi-hyphenate and the evolutionary and unexpected ways that hip hop impacts culture.

As we launch our inaugural festival we are excited to celebrate the dynamic relationship between hip hop and jazz over the course of several exciting programs encompassing listening sessions, performances, dance parties, and more.

The Hip Hop & Jazz Festival is dedicated to visionary concert producer, music impresario, and founder and CEO of Revive Music Group, Meghan Stabile.
