The Playing For Change Foundation, in partnership with The Sheridan Road Charitable Foundation, is set to host an unforgettable evening of music and philanthropy with Jazz on the Park on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, at the Metropolitan Club in New York City.

This highly anticipated event brings together world-class talent and a community of changemakers, all united by a shared belief in the power of music to inspire and transform lives. Guests will be treated to a headline performance by award-winning pianist The Emmet Cohen Trio, whose virtuosity and creative energy have made them one of today’s most celebrated jazz ensembles. Adding to the evening’s allure, acclaimed singer-songwriter Haley Reinhart, a double platinum-selling artist known for her soulful voice and captivating stage presence, will deliver a special performance that promises to be a highlight of the night.

Set against the timeless backdrop of the Metropolitan Club, Jazz on the Park blends the elegance of a New York City landmark with the vibrancy of contemporary artistry. Guests will not only experience extraordinary performances but also connect with a community of supporters dedicated to uplifting youth and communities around the world through the transformative gift of music and arts education.

The evening will be co-chaired by Annie and Daniel Bryant, alongside Whitney Kroenke Silverstein, with the support of an esteemed host committee that includes Diana Bellini, Jennifer and BJ DeLong, Jennifer Frommer, Jim and Wendy Gemus, David Hryck, Ellie Libby, Ronnie Madra, Meredith O’Connor, Nick Sciorra, and Edward Smith. Their leadership and vision underscore the spirit of generosity at the heart of this celebration.

With tickets priced at $500 per person, proceeds from Jazz on the Park will directly benefit the Playing For Change Foundation’s global initiatives. These programs provide underserved communities with music and arts education, nurturing creativity while fostering cultural understanding and connection. Each contribution helps expand opportunities for young people to discover their voices and create brighter futures through the arts.
