Nascentia Health invites the community to enjoy a full day of soulful live jazz music at the third annual Jazz at Beeches Manor on Sunday, August 9, from noon to 8 p.m., at the historic Beeches Manor in Rome.
This free community event brings together talented jazz musicians from across the region while supporting the vision of Nascentia Neighborhood, Central New York’s first aging-in-place community designed to help adults 55 and older live independently with access to integrated healthcare, wellness programs, dining, recreation, and social opportunities.
Guests are invited to enjoy a full day of live music from noon to 8 p.m. Doors open at 11:45 a.m. Food, refreshments, raffles, and commemorative festival T-shirts will be available for purchase.
The festival concludes with a performance by headliner Gap Mangione & The New Big Band from 6:00–8:00 p.m. Earlier performances include:
- The Young Souls Jazz Collective | 12:00–1:00 p.m.
- Julie & Rick’s Jazz Asylum | 1:00–2:00 p.m.

The event is made possible through the generous support of community sponsors, led by Headliner Sponsor Mastrovito Auto Group. Their investment not only supports the event but helps advance the vision of Nascentia Neighborhood and its mission to reimagine aging in Central New York.
“We’re excited to once again welcome the community to Beeches Manor for a day of incredible music while supporting an exciting vision for the future of aging in our region,” said Ashlea Schad, Vice President of Development and Strategic Partnerships at Nascentia Health. “Jazz at Beeches Manor has become a wonderful tradition that brings together neighbors, jazz enthusiasts, and supporters while helping move the Nascentia Neighborhood vision forward.”
