The festival was founded in 1992 by then Harlem resident and jazz vocalist, Melba Joyce. For over 30 years, the festival and its curators have brought together vocalists, musicians, dancers, and a melding of musical genres, to deliver an exciting series of concerts honoring the contributions of Black women in jazz. The 2026 festival will be held in person on Mondays, March 16, 23, and 30.Join us for opening night of the Women's Jazz Festival with Lisa Fischer!LISA FISCHERWhen the iconic Ms. Lisa Fischer sings, she brings a joyous sense of discovery to every song. The Grammy and Oscar winning powerhouse vocalist is at the peak of her powers, blazing her own path, reveling in the chance to dive into every vocal possibility. While she carries traces of the legendary stars with whom she’s collaborated over four decades, Ms. Lisa Fischer is a constellation in her own right, singing songs with “amazing power, energy, and projection" enthuses Keith Richards, after 26 years of musicmaking with Ms. Lisa Fischer in the Rolling Stones.Whether she’s stretching out in an intimate duo with jazz piano maestro Taylor Eigs, raising the roof with the spiritually charged Gullah funk combo Ranky Tanky, creating luminous soundscapes onstage with the dancers of Alonzo King LINES Ballet, or following her uninhibited muse with her trio Grand Baton and their organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock, Fischer has taken her rightful place among America’s greatest vocalists. “A talent that comes once in a lifetime," declares Roberta Flack. “Like Haley’s Comet, her brilliance is dazzling and brings light into the world.”Read more of Fischer's bio at lisafischermusic.com.#SchomburgWJF2026 #SchomburgLiveTICKETSGeneral Admission $35 // Schomburg Society Member* $25 (Plus Eventbrite fees)*Enter promotional code to reveal membership ticket .
