Introducing this year’s guest artists for London Jazz Festival Collectives: @geejaymusic!
We’re so excited to have GeeJay onboard as our guest artists for this year’s @LondonJazzFest project 🎶 🎷
Our young people can’t wait to meet them in our LJF workshop sessions.

Our theme for our @LondonJazzFest work this year is Human vs Machine 🤖 🎶 🌍
This autumn our Jazz Collective will be considering how the advance of AI is affecting us all, inspired by suggestions from our music leaders!

Many of us are already using AI tools through education, work and socialising, so we’re looking forward to considering how we interact with these innovations in the years to come.

Here at ArtsTrain we’re saddened to hear about the passing of the philanthropist Sir Jack Petchey. Our Academies have been generously supported by @JPFoundation over the years, alongside awards for our music leaders and young people.

At a time when youth clubs and schemes across the country have struggled to survive, Sir Jack invested over £170 million into youth projects throughout London and Essex since establishing the Foundation in 1999.

We’ll continue to be inspired by Sir Jack’s entrepreneurship, and his philosophy: "If you think you can, you can."

Research conducted by @SConnections and @tialt_tweets found our programme provides an escape and release for young people from other stresses and pressures, creating a calm, relaxed and happy environment where they could express themselves, and reduce their feelings of isolation.
