2023 YOUNG WOMEN’S WORKSHOP

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2023 WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS!

The Young Women’s Workshop is designed for young women of high-school age to learn more about jazz, and jazz performance skills. This year the workshop is facilitated by Talkin’ Jazz in collaboration with the Brisbane International Jazz Festival. Following the one-day workshop, students will present a performance as part of the Brisbane International Jazz Festival!

"I found the workshop beneficial because I got to learn... in a community where everyone was accepted and supported."

One of the aims of the Talkin' Jazz program is to connect young musicians with more experienced jazz musicians and educators. Participants will be joined by an amazing team of guest mentors from the Unladylike Big Band. These women are some of Australia's best jazz musicians and all are highly qualified and experienced composers and educators. Mentors will teach students performance and improvisational skills through a curated selection of jazz repertoire, culminating in the incredible opportunity to perform as part of the Brisbane International Jazz Festival!
