We often dream of an idealistic and happy life on our planet, in our country, and in our city, but we always sigh and think that it is a utopia. And none of us seems willing to take action to make this dream a reality! But JazzYYC does! JazzYYC is not just another organization. It's not about making money. It's not about staging fancy concerts for the elite. JazzYYC is all about the young generation of Calgary! This is the core mission of the organization – supporting the youth of Calgary, the future of our city. Across Canada, JazzYYC stands out as the only jazz society that not only organizes festivals but also helps the younger generation access jazz music education. I couldn't find another such organization. Today, sustainability is a buzzword. Everyone claims to be sustainable, even tobacco companies... But true sustainability is actually very rare in any industry. JazzYYC is an excellent example of what sustainability can look like. One model we use at JazzYYC is to organize events in cafes, jazz clubs, and other venues in Calgary, allowing ALL Calgarians to listen to jazz - many of our events are free of charge. Thus, even those who can't afford tickets to fancy concerts can attend jazz concerts, and local small businesses have more clients and more money. We allow young jazz musicians to play alongside big names in the Calgary jazz scene in front of an audience. Isn't this wonderful? Isn't this something truly different? Isn't this real care for the future generation and the future of our community? You can support this great thing by participating in our 50/50 raffle. Currently, we've raised over 1700 CAD. This means that by spending just a minimum of 10 CAD, you'll have a chance to win half of the total amount, which is now 1700 CAD and, hopefully, will be more by May 1st. Let’s support our jazz community in Calgary for the price of just one espresso or americano! Tourism Calgary, Travel Alberta, City of Calgary I dream of the day when people from across Canada (and why only Canada) visiting Calgary each year to attend the Calgary International Jazz Festival! Together, we can make it happen. 😊 ❤️ #jazzyyc #yyccc #yyc #blueskycity #tourismcalgary #travelalberta

📢 MusicAIRE project highlights is back to showcase the next project in line, supported by MusicAIRE - "European Folk Day - Pilot Project (Acronym: EFN - EFD)", organised by European Folk Network. 🎵 “The overarching objective is to coordinate, support and publicise the full extent of activities as a pilot of the first ever European Folk Day, an initiative proposed by EFN’s 132 members from 27 European nations. The Folk Day aims to harness traditional music and arts activity across Europe – from grassroots communities to national organisations – in a way that is only possible European Folk Day - pilot project EFN-EFD 20 through the emerging pan-European network and with the use of available digital communication technology - to raise awareness and profile of this essential element of European cultural identity and diversity with the general public and policy makers. EFN and its supporting members have already worked to raise awareness of the concept in the sector, recruiting participants and encouraging creative participation at every level. Practical support and coordination in this pilot will indicate the full range of activity across Europe and demonstrate the prevalence and critical mass of traditional arts in European societies. Coverage for Folk Day activities will be achieved at local, national and pan-European level by participants working on their own local and national contacts, digital and social media channels, coordinating and cross- linking with EFN’s PR and marketing at European level. Through this manifestation of music and arts activities, taking place simultaneously across Europe, traditional artists, communities and organisations will experience visible collective solidarity, dispelling the debilitating isolation brought on by the pandemic. The Folk Day will engender self-confidence in the sector and determination to prove its importance and value through collective action and advocacy. EFN has a unique role as facilitator and will make a significant impact on public awareness by coordinating the European added value of the inaugural Folk Day whilst gaining information, contact, knowledge and experience to apply to the development of the network and the Folk Day in future years."

Carin Leon Set To Open For Rolling Stones in Arizona Concert Carin Leon, the famed Mexican singer from Sonora, is set to open for the Rolling Stones in their next concert in Arizona. You can buy tickets here: Rolling Stone & Carin Leon. We learned of this via Noreste, a #Mexican publication based in the northern region from where Carin Leon originates. The concert will take place on May 7th, 2024 in Glendale Arizona at the State Farm Stadium. Mexican Regional Is Hard To Ignore No British band is more iconic than the Rolling Stones short of the Beatles, but the key difference is that the group has never stopped touring which makes them a brand that lives on far from being memorabilia. Mick Jagger who is hovering near his 80’s is hard pressed to need an introduction anywhere, but while his youth has faded, nothing about the music’s quality has changed For some, it’s tough to conceptualize that The Rolling Stones even need to approach a different audience. Or, do the they? The band and their business managers may be noting the sea change in how much Mexican culture is being exported across the world. Hoping to cash in on the eventual European arrival, why not cross-promote may be the reasoning. The look, the feel and content of Mexican regional is unique and distinctive. This makes for easy selling and increases cross promotion profitability, and, as was noted in ‘Rockonomics’, a book detailing the intricacies of winners and losers in the music business, the most famous artist in the world will always be ‘featuring’ so who knows if this is simply a prelude for more to come. https://lnkd.in/emnexUxi

The key to achieving waste diversion goals starts with knowing your waste stream Your event type matters; the waste from a music festival differs from a community art fair or a conference, for example. Let's work together to take every event a step closer to sustainability. #Schupan #DiversionGoals #SustainableEvents #Recycle #BuildingABetterFuture

🌟 Highlighting “Pilot Project for Audience Diversification in Contemporary Jazz”, organised by Assejazz! This project consists of the creation of a European programme for the exchange of jazz proposals through collaboration with 3 entities similar to Assejazz, dedicated to the dissemination and internationalisation of this musical genre! Key aspects of the project include: 🤝 Collaboration and Exchange: the 3 entities will visit Assejazz to share practices and tools, focusing on addressing challenges between jazz venues and new audience profiles. 🎤 Meetings/concerts: 12 in total (4 for each entity), held over 12 months, to inspire and develop tools to reflect on issues such as the reduction of the environmental impact of venues and the interaction with audiences that are not very integrated among current audiences (young people, women and citizens not professionally linked to musical disciplines) and practical tools to include audiences in the reflection and transformation of music venues. 👉 Find more about the project in the link: https://lnkd.in/dWNUiimv #LIVEMX #beyondmusic #livemusicsector #creativeeuropeprogramme #musicmoveseurope #livemxprojectshowcase
