"Is All About The Young People "
 
The Tony Williams Scholarship Jazz Festival

The Mount Airy Cultural Center, Inc.
is a progam and agency that evolved from other programs
Tony Williams spearheaded, founded and led.
This program is grounded from a 50 year grass root
initiative to build esteem, provide extended outlets, enriching the
inner soul, intellect and creativity to youth through the
 music genre of jazz.
 
"The 24th Annual"
Tony Williams Scholarship Jazz Festival
