Since 2006, Alexa has proudly served as a board member of Music For Tomorrow.
Music for Tomorrow seeks to save the jazz music of today for the world of tomorrow through programs, grants, and other ventures that support jazz and grow its audience, which in turn will bolster activity in the New Orleans creative economy. We provide musicians with work opportunities, produce music events, educate and grow jazz audiences, and distribute funds to social service programs that aid jazz musicians in New Orleans.
Mission
Music for Tomorrow (MFT) seeks to save the jazz music of today for the world of tomorrow. We do this in two ways: first, by supporting the jazz creative economy through grants, programs, and ventures; second, by growing the audience for jazz through traditional and social media, which in turns supports the jazz creative economy. We provide musicians with working opportunities, produce music events, grow jazz audiences, connect listeners and musicians through social media, and distribute funds to programs that aid jazz and jazz musicians.
