Historic New England and Mandorla Music invite you to be part of the first annual David Chesnut Jazz Festival at the Eustis Estate. The outdoor festival features a range of jazz styles performed by an eclectic group of professional musicians from across the greater Boston area. Family-friendly activities will be available throughout the day.
David Chesnut was a coachman and chauffeur who worked at the Eustis Estate from the 1890s until 1905. He had a lifelong passion for music as both a performer and connoisseur, and he was active in the community. The David Chesnut Jazz Festival is helping tell a more inclusive story about the people who were part of the Eustis Estate, while celebrating the power of art and community.
