Listen back to performances from 2022’s five NYJC Summer School combos, celebrating NYJC’s 15th Birthday by performing a stunning concert in Benenden School’s brand new Centenary Hall on Saturday 20th August 2022.
The National Youth Jazz Collective enables young jazz enthusiasts to find equally keen young musicians. Together we help develop their skills, passion and experience as jazz players. With our annual Summer School and series of monthly sessions in different regional centres around England, we support music education by empowering 8–18 year-olds to learn, improvise, compose, arrange and lead bands.
If you care about helping young talented musicians develop their skills and become the new stars of the future we need your support.
Help support the next generation of musicians by donating today!
We have spent the past 17 years supporting the next generation of jazz musicians, and we need your help to reach even more young people. Whether it’s through our regional workshops, our annual Summer School and Short Course or our Ambassadors Scheme, we’re there to support the creative needs of the nation’s up-and-coming jazz stars. NYJC alumni have gone on to become BBC Young Jazz Musician Winners, Grammy and Mercury Prize nominated artists and winners at the Parliamentary Jazz and Jazz FM Awards.
