Jazz Education and Outreach throughout Europe: Best practice and exchange

13 April 2024, 13:30 – 14:30 | Hall 6, Conference Room

Music education has led to a shadowy existence in the jazz world for far too long. Classical music institutions have been active here for many years with large dedicated departments. They enter into partnerships with schools, network with different communities and reach out to people who previously had little access to music. Jazz institutions have some catching up to do here. We bring together representatives of best practice examples (festivals, music promotion institutions etc.) and discuss with them what contemporary education and outreach work can look like.
