So far in May, Onondaga County has reported more than 70 hospitalizations daily, 200 daily infections, and three deaths from Covid-19.
These numbers tell the story of a virus that continues to produce deadly consequences in Central New York. By the end of the year, 100 million new infections are predicted nationwide. The zip code of the city of Syracuse still tracks the area with all pandemic indicators. No other health needs were detected during the pandemic, causing serious residual impact on the entire urban community.
In response, Syracuse Community Health is once again leading an aggressive public health outreach effort to counterattack. The agency has renewed the Jazz in the City Public Health Concert Series to bring people together in a fun way with food, music and fun, while providing information and tools on medical services and consulting with those who do not have the resources for regular medical appointments. And provide screening and vaccines-I’m reluctant to step up and help go against the numbers.
The concert will feature neighborhood-based opening acts by artists from around the country, the best local bands and community groups. Each concert has a large “healthcare village” of food, arts and craft vendors, and local health care institutions. Guest speakers will be on stage during breaks.
All concerts are Thursday from 6 pm to 9 pm. The lineup includes:
- June 9-Urban Jazz Union at Kirk Park, Argyle Terrace, West Borden Avenue
- June 23-Skiddy Park, 3D Rhythm of Life at 300 Oswego St
- July 7 – Atlas of Levenworth Park, 120 Wilkinson St.

These events are about touring the beautiful parks of our city with music. Bring health directly to the people of the city.
Mayor Ben Walsh said: CNY Jazz uses music to gather people, go outdoors, enjoy the park and focus on living a healthier life. Moreover, Jazz in the City goes beyond music. It brings art and entertainment from many artists to our neighborhood. Come for music and food and stay for a healthy connection. “

We would like to thank the CNY Jazz team for their efforts and the partnership with the Syracuse Community Health Center. “
Live concerts are highly visible and match targeted media campaigns. Media personality George Kilpatrick, who lost his mother in a pandemic, will once again lead the summer message campaign, with 100 black Syracuse men serving as volunteers in the series.
Larry Luttinger, CNY Jazz Leader, said: motion. We all worked together to move the needle to control, control and minimize this virus. I urge all city dwellers to play their part this summer and be part of the solution by being smart about family health habits. “
The series’ talent lineup is staggering, including chart-top smooth jazz, contemporary jazz, classical soul, and R & B acts.
