Take Five 2024
Serious are creators of outstanding live musical and cultural experiences, including festivals, concerts, tours, creative engagement projects and talent development schemes, with a special focus on jazz, international and new music genres. Take Five is an annual talent development programme for emerging jazz and improvising musicians/composers to develop musicianship, networking skills and confidence in their chosen field. The programme aims to engage people from across the UK with a focus on reaching those from all cultural, socio-economic and gender identities to enable dynamic and forward-thinking collaborations and to create a diverse and talented pipeline of young musicians to sustain and develop the industry in years to come. The programme works with artists aged 23-35, or with 5-10 years of experience, providing unique opportunity for those who have already gained some experience of the music industry but may need support to advance their music and careers.
