Jazzlines programme aims to:
Offer outstanding performance opportunities to emerging and established jazz musicians in a variety of interesting venues,
Commission cutting-edge new work from emerging artists to be showcased in festivals and concerts;
Nurture local talent from primary school age to undergraduate and professional level;
Grow audiences for jazz.
The programme is supported by the grant made to THSH by Arts Council England under the National Portfolio Organisation scheme and will build on the reputation that Tony Dudley-Evans and Mary Wakelam developed through Birmingham Jazz.
Jazzlines is hoping to grow the jazz programme in Birmingham, consolidating these strands with THSH’s jazz programme and broadening live jazz performances in the two venues. The growing jazz education programme which consists of Early Years through to undergraduate and professional development work will also be expanded as part of THSH’s core value of Connecting People to Music. As part of this programme, Jazzlines provides ensembles, masterclasses, workshops and performance opportunities for young people interested in develop their skills as jazz musicians.
