ABOUT US

The Vocal Jazz Summit, produced every June by Zeiders American Dream Theater, is a premier performance and education conference created to serve emerging and established vocalists, industry leaders, and jazz lovers with an immersive experience  of growth and connection. By day, attendees hone their

skills in workshops and masterclasses guided by Grammy Award winning and nominated singers; and by night, they enjoy world-class performances and take the stage themselves in jam sessions with top tier musicians. 

More than just a conference, the Vocal Jazz Summit is designed for artists of all levels—from those who sing for the love of it to seasoned professionals—blending education, performance, and connection to strengthen both craft and community.
