Program Description

Overview This three-week program brings together emerging artists from around the world to work and study with Co-Artistic Directors Vijay Iyer and Tyshawn Sorey, as well as internationally acclaimed guest mentors. The goal is to learn, converse, build, experiment, refine, and transform — to reimagine the state of the art. This program is one of the most intensive that Banff Centre offers, and continues our 40-year history of incredible jazz exploration. What does the program offer? The Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music is designed to help emerging musicians become performers/composers of consequence in the world, with an emphasis on community and collaboration. There is a major recording component to the residency and two weeks of sessions spent in our world-class studio with renowned faculty engineers and producers. Participants will receive a personal studio space to work from, available 24 hours a day. Production spaces are shared among all participants
