Jazz & Sonic Arts 2025 - Banff Centre

The Jazz & Sonic Arts program is an innovative development opportunity for early and mid-career jazz and sound artists. It encourages participants to explore new directions in their artistic practice, become changemakers, and advance their creative potential as performers, collaborators, and creators. Engage with sound in innovative ways, using improvisation, experimentation, and technology to expand the sonic possibilities of music. Jazz and Sonic Arts are ever-evolving and diverse genres, creating a powerful synergy that inspires creativity and leads to multidimensional, transcendent artistic experiences. They serve as catalysts for cultural dialogue, empowerment, societal change, and ecological awareness. The program welcomes both individuals and pre-formed ensembles to apply.
