Serious: Talent Development Partner 2018
Serious is a unique force in live music; each year we deliver a rich mix of work across our national programme of events, including the UK’s largest celebration of jazz, EFG London Jazz Festival. As Talent Development Partners, we work in a broad range of genres and contexts, alongside a wealth of some of the most creative and inspiring musicians out there today.
So far we’ve worked with over 150 British music creators through Seriously Talented and we’re committed to their ongoing development; this valued support from PRSF will enable us to continue to develop the talent of these artists.
Across our upcoming annual programme we will craft performance opportunities for Seriously Talented alumni, including national tours to major festivals, one-off events and the EFG London Jazz Festival. We will build new opportunities such as commissioning new music curating platforms to perform at landmark events like EFG London Jazz Festival.
The EFG London Jazz Festival itself, will also feature a day of industry-focused activity, JazzWorks, with a programme shaped to equip people working in music with the tools to construct positive futures in the industry. The blend of creative and professional development our programme provides enable the artists we work with to continue to develop as musicians and build fulfilling sustainable careers.
