Longmont All-Star Jazz Band and Longmont Performing Arts Center Announce Community-Focused Partnership Beginning in 2026

Longmont, CO — [01/21/2026] — The Longmont Performing Arts Center (LPAC) and the Longmont All-Star Jazz Band (LASJB) are launching a new, community-focused partnership in 2026, aimed at bringing a stronger spotlight to local jazz music by headlining performances in the heart of Longmont.

Beginning in 2026, LPAC and LASJB will collaborate on an enhanced lineup of high-quality jazz concerts, educational initiatives, and outreach programs for audiences of all ages, strengthening the city’s cultural landscape.

As an early highlight of this growing relationship, the Longmont All-Star Jazz Band will perform “A Tribute To The Trojan – A Night of Swing!” at 7:00 p.m. on March 1st at the Longmont Performing Arts Center. The performance celebrates the enduring legacy of swing-era jazz music and marks an important step toward a deeper, long-term collaboration between the two organisations while paying homage to its roots as the “Trojan Theater”.

President & Musical Director of the All-Stars, Gavin Worland says: “This partnership is about more than concerts—it’s about continuing the growth of a sustainable and meaningful music community for Longmont. By working together, we will expand access to jazz, support the high school musicians within our community, and create engaging experiences that connect us all to this uniquely American art form.”

“With the addition of the All-Stars as another one of our arts-focused partners, like Centennial State Ballet, we are excited to see another way all forms of art have, and continue to enlighten our community,” says W. Vito Montone, LPAC Advancement.
