There’s a great deal of hype going on around Juneau about its resource-rich environment, but recent conversations have turned from gold to silver — Juneau Jazz & Classics’ Silver Anniversary, that is.

Jazz & Classics has grown to be one of Juneau’s greatest treasures. What started as the brainchild of local violinist Linda Rosenthal 25 years ago has now blossomed into an annual affair to remember. As the festival’s artistic director, it is clear that Linda’s enthusiasm and passion for sharing music can be credited for each festival hitting its notes year after year. Bravo!
