Earthsong Foundation Supports Bristol Jazz Festival

2 June 2025

We are big jazz fans here at Earthsong and really enjoy our partnership with the Bristol Jazz and Blues Festival; this vibrant and ever evolving festival is a celebration of Bristol’s particularly rich jazz culture and a powerful platform for inclusion, education, and community engagement.

The Bristol Jazz Festival shares our vision of enabling lifelong, active musical participation – particularly for young people in communities facing challenging circumstances. Their annual programme features world-class performances alongside hands-on workshops led by top musicians, offering young people direct access to professional artistry in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

We have been delighted to support the jazz education workshops where feedback from participants reported inspiration, personal growth, increased confidence, and newfound passion.

Looking ahead, we’re working to support the Festival’s new initiative: a series of live jazz concerts and workshops throughout the year. Through Partnerships with local schools and youth groups, this project will provide free and subsidised places to young people passionate about honing their vocal and instrumental skills.
