Jazz on the Park: October 14, 2025 – An Evening of Music, Community & Purpose

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the iconic Metropolitan Club in New York City will open its gilded doors for a night that promises to be as unforgettable as it is meaningful. Jazz on the Park, presented by the Playing For Change Foundation and the Sheridan Road Charitable Foundation, is not just another society event—it’s a celebration of music’s power to uplift, unite, and transform lives across the globe.

A Historic Setting for a Historic Night

The Metropolitan Club, with its grand marble staircases and timeless elegance, provides the perfect backdrop for an evening that blends sophistication with soul. Guests will gather beneath glittering chandeliers and soaring ceilings, immersed in an atmosphere that reflects both the history of the venue and the forward-looking mission of the night: to support music education programs that empower children and communities worldwide.

World-Class Performances

The evening’s centerpiece is a concert designed to stir hearts and ignite imaginations. The Emmet Cohen Trio, one of the most acclaimed jazz ensembles of our time, will take the stage with their signature mastery, weaving together rhythm and improvisation in a way that feels both timeless and contemporary.

Complementing them is Haley Reinhart, the double platinum-selling singer-songwriter whose voice—soulful, sultry, and unforgettable—has captivated audiences worldwide. Together, these artists embody the event’s spirit: music not just as entertainment, but as a force for change.

Beyond the Music

While the music will no doubt leave a lasting impression, Jazz on the Park offers so much more. Guests will enjoy an evening of fine living, from handcrafted cocktails to a curated selection of gourmet hors d’oeuvres, prepared to delight even the most discerning palates. Adding to the excitement is a live auction featuring exclusive experiences and one-of-a-kind offerings, creating moments of both thrill and generosity. Every bid, every sip, every note played contributes directly to the Playing For Change Foundation’s global initiatives, ensuring that music continues to inspire, educate, and connect communities across continents.

A Celebration with Purpose

What sets Jazz on the Park apart is its purpose. This is more than an elegant evening of culture and connection; it’s an investment in the next generation. The Playing For Change Foundation has long championed music as a universal language, building programs that provide children with the tools to learn, grow, and thrive through the power of song. By attending, guests aren’t just spectators—they become part of a movement that uses art to heal, empower, and unite.
