The
Festival Coordinator, Ash Doherty says “We’re delighted to announce the initial
events as part of Leeds Jazz Festival 2023! More events will be announced over
the coming months, featuring a full array of partners and some exciting
festival developments and new partnerships, representing the wide diversity of
Jazz in the city; from trad jazz and contemporary jazz through free and
experimental jazz, to the DIY, punky, spiky end of the jazz sphere and the
music forms influenced by jazz such as hip hop, R&B and electronic music.
You can expect to see the return of a certain free, outdoor stage in the city
centre too”.
Leeds
Jazz Festival is produced by a city-wide network of partners, representing
venues, programmers, musicians and more, coordinated by Music:Leeds and
supported by Split Design, arts@leeds, Leeds City Council, LeedsBID, Leeds 2023
and bcausam. We look forward to welcoming you back to Leeds this May for some
fantastic events in the second city of jazz in the UK.
