National Youth Jazz Collective workshops
Young jazz musicians aged between 14 and 18 have the chance to be picked for the annual summer school held by the National Youth Jazz Collective, with auditions taking place in Huddersfield on Sunday 10 April.
The NYJC exists to develop and support gifted young artists through outreach projects and the National Youth Jazz Summer School. Funded by Youth Music, this year’s summer school will be held at the University of East Anglia from 14–21 August 2011 and includes a free public performance on 20 August. The 30 selected participants will be able to draw upon the expertise of a number of jazz educators, including NYJC founder Issie Barratt, Nic France, Nikki Iles, Mark Lockheart and Martin Speake, whilst honing their improvisatory and interactive skills in small groups.
Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival is one of the NYJC’s regional partners and hosted a series of Jazz Weekends offering workshops, seminars and performances to young musicians in 2008–9. The NYJC audition day, one of several being held around England, takes place in the University of Huddersfield’s Creative Arts Building.
