SCHOLARSHIPS OF IZMIR EUROPEAN JAZZ FESTIVAL
One of the most distinctive features of Izmir European Jazz Festival is that this festival has a characteristic that can be described as “jazz education festival” for the young generations. Starting with the 12th Izmir European Jazz Festival, the Open Jazz Orchestra Workshops enable the young musicians from Izmir to introduce themselves in foreign countries. The Italian group that participates in Izmir European Jazz Festival every year also conducts the Open Jazz Orchestra Workshops. Two young jazz musicians who were chosen in the result of these workshops by the Italian artists get a scholarship award for Italian Consulate in Izmir and (up until the last year) Siena Jazz Summer Master Classes in cooperation with Siena Jazz Foundation. These scholarships of the 21st Izmir European Jazz Festival are granted for the Julliard School of New York Summer Master Classes in cooperation of Jazz Department of Guiseppe Verdi Conservatory in Torino, the Torino city, Torino Jazz Festival, and Italian Consulate in Izmir.
