The Festival is also proud to announce that leading private bank EFG International, represented in the UK by EFG Private Bank has renewed its partnership for the next three years.
Building on the success of last year’s EFG International Excellence Series, EFG International and the Festival will again create a programme of four world-class performances from some of the leading lights in jazz today. Sonny Rollins will form the first concert in the exclusive series, with a further three concerts to be announced in the coming months.
The Festival, which is now in its 17th year, is internationally acknowledged for its first-class programme, remarkable in its diversity, size and quality. This year’s event runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 22 November and once again promises an extensive programme that will reach right across the capital.
Producing a feast of commissions, collaborations, free events and learning and participation activity, the Festival is a hotbed of creativity that has “a catalytic effect on the UK jazz scene all through the year.” (The Guardian)
Claire Whitaker, Director, London Jazz Festival: “We are delighted that EFG International has renewed this very important partnership with London Jazz Festival, particularly in the current economic climate. EFG International’s ongoing commitment will support the Festival in continuing to programme the highest calibre artists from around the globe.
