Up and Coming Writers Camp

International connections and support of up and coming female and non-binary musicians

From February 24th to 27th, the jazzahead! Up and Coming Writers Camp creates a creative meeting place for female and non-binary musicians from the fields of jazz and improvised music. Two up-and-coming projects from Bremen and Groningen, selected by an international jury, will get the chance to work on new material together over several days and prepare it for a joint performance at the jazzahead! CLUBNIGHT on April 25th. The two bands zwanzig nach eins from Bremen and FOUR from Groningen will be coached by the internationally active bass player Lisa Hoppe, who started her studies in Bremen. The jazzahead! Up and Coming Writers Camp thus combines the three important future topics of promoting young talent, gender balance in the jazz world and international exchange, in this case with Bremen’s twin city Groningen.

The camp is made possible by the support of Clubverstärker e.V. and the Senator für Kultur as part of the “Perspektivwechsel” funding program as well as the inJazz program from Buma Cultuur. The project is being carried out in cooperation with Musikszene Bremen e.V., Buma Cultuur and the Prins Claus Conservatorium.
