What we do:
The inaugural Emerging Jazz Festival will be highlighting both the academic and performance aspects of what it is to explore emerging work. In addition, this festival marks the start of incentives to continually support and develop the emerging jazz community throughout the year. The programming of the festival has been based on the idea that emerging musicians are five years from grad
uating; whether that be from secondary schooling, developmental tiers of tertiary education or studying an instrument independently. Mission:
The jazz community is an ecosystem of musical, academic and industry people with the common goal of promoting and developing jazz across Australia. The aim of the Emerging Jazz Festival is to provide a platform for the jazz community to celebrate, support, discuss and highlight the music of emerging jazz musicians in Melbourne. Vision:
The Emerging Jazz Festival envisions itself as a place for musical adventures, with an audience that enjoys exchanging big ideas and loves to be inspired.
