We are thrilled to announce that our ‘First Time Jazz’ schools tour is back, and this time, we are taking jazz to the young people of London.
Following on from the success with this programme in North Lincolnshire in 2023, and in Lancashire and London in 2024, this dynamic first-access schools’ tour is set to inspire young people aged 11-16 to explore jazz as an art form and a means of expression through engaging, interactive performances and workshops.
Four of our talented NYJO musicians, a group of dynamic young musicians and educators, will be joined by bandleader and Steam Down vocalist Shantéh, to deliver jazz-inspired gigs in London schools identified as needing more access to live music and music education opportunities.
