We are thrilled to invite you to this edition of Intl Jazz Platform exceptionally organised in Lyon as part of the Better Live project and Recif festival. For 12 years we’ve been creating a community of young artists across Europe who share similar musical interests and who constantly expand their artistic horizons. Intl Jazz Platform has long years' experience in Poland and Norway behind it, but this will be the first edition organized in France together with Le Periscope. This new adventure will feature 20 musicians based in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia, Portugal and Tunisia. You will come together to share experiences and draw inspiration from the mentors and professionals present. You will also be offered moments of reflection on social issues impacting the sector with exciting experts. It’s a time of intense work, personal exchanges with our musical heroes, but also an opportunity to listen to concerts of ground-breaking artists, establish new friendships and meet promoters from around Europe. All of this to feed you with inspiration that will motivate you to keep creating and to keep exploring.
During this special edition of Intl Jazz Platform in Lyon, we’re joining forces with the Better Live project to discuss the future of our sector in the face of the climate urgency. As professionals we need to rethink our daily work and prepare ourselves for the inevitable reforms of our sector. Sustainability will be the theme of Intl Jazz Platform Lyon Edition. This means special seminars, workshops and panel discussion concerning the sustainable solutions in the live music sector.
This year, young artists from all over Europe will work and create music with our mentors, top representatives of the European improvised music scene, whose work we follow and admire. They will have a chance to play, be a part of a band, perform compositions and talk about the music with these amazing musicians and human beings: Susana Santos Silva (trumpet), Sylvain Darrifourcq (drums), Petter Eldh (double bass).
