Unheard of! INTL Jazz Platform

Polish and Norwegian students meet, learn, improvise and perform

We invite both young musicians and audiences (of all ages!) to the Oslo edition of the Intl Jazz Platform, which will take place 6–8 October at the National Jazz Scene and the Norwegian Academy of Music . Ten Polish music students will come to Oslo in October to meet their Norwegian counterparts. A few intense days of improvisation, workshops and master classes will culminate in a large joint concert at Victoria.

Here, the audience gets a golden opportunity to see new musical friendships unfold in real time, friendships that could easily influence European jazz for many years to come!

The concert closing, which is free and open to all, will be on Wednesday, October 8th!

Intl Jazz Platform is a Polish educational program that facilitates the opportunity for young artists to meet and share experiences, improvise, create and express themselves together. The mentors are experienced high-level artists from several countries, and this time in Oslo it is Oddrun Lilja, Atle Nymo and Per Oddvar Johansen who will share their experiences and knowledge.

Intl Jazz Platform is run by the Wytwórnia Foundation in Poland and collaborates with the Better Live project. In Norway, Nasjonal Jazzscene and the Norwegian Academy of Music are partners.
