“Our visit to Alaska was not only among the highlights of our season, but of our entire organizational history”, exclaims JazzReach Founder, Hans Schuman. “Our presenting partners were top shelf and scheduled an amazing variety of activities which gave us access to broad facets of each respective community. We couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity and we hope for many returns!!”
