Since its inception, the Festival has consistently shone a spotlight on the creativity and artistic excellence of European jazz artists. This year is no exception, with artists from throughout the continent – and especially Finland, France and Norway – making their way to London. Jazz in the New Europe brings a major initiative for 2012. With the support of a one-year grant from the Culture Programme of the European Union, the Festival has created Jazz in the New Europe, a special programme that builds out from our core activity, and brings seminal figures in the evolution of jazz in Europe over the past five decades together with emerging talent, in a series of new collaborations and commissions, club nights and panel sessions, extending throughout the city, and connecting with the UK’s vibrant jazz community. Look out for the symbol throughout the brochure to see which events are part of this strand. Find out more at:londonjazzfestival.org.uk/jazzintheneweurope

The London Jazz Festival is a cultural highlight in the capital that has a truly international status for showcasing the best jazz talent over ten special days in November.

Arts Council England is proud to have supported

the Festival since it began in 1992. Since then

we have seen it go from strength to strength –

bringing more top quality artists to even larger

audiences across London.

This year’s Festival once again promises to be

spectacular celebration of jazz, and can only

reinforce London’s status as one of the most

culturally vibrant cities in the world.

Learning and participation is central to the LJF programme. As well as enjoying the great concerts on offer over 10 days, we encourage you to delve further into the music by getting involved.

Our Beyond Concerts programme opens the door to music for all age groups, with opportunities to participate on a variety of levels, from jazz workshops for toddlers and for young people through to family-friendly events and the ever popular Hear Me Talkin’ To Ya series.

We also have a great deal of activity taking place behind the scenes. Each year we invite internationally acclaimed artists into schools and community settings throughout London to share knowledge and inspire young people. Some end up with performances, so check out the list of projects below to learn more.
