As part of the 2024 edition of their annual September event, Lancaster Jazz Festival and Jazz North are joining forces to offer an inspiring artist-led conference for musicians.
Offering vital support to artists keen to develop their careers, this day will be about creative practice, knowledge sharing and building networks.

Lucy Woolley, Festival Director for Lancaster Jazz Festival, says:
“We're really excited for our Inspire Artist Conference Day - creating a space in the festival where artists can talk about their work, gather knowledge and meet their peers helps build a stronger and more connected jazz community.
With some fantastic speakers and topics I'm confident it will be really valuable to everyone who comes down!”
