Each year during the International Laureate Festival, partners of the World Jazz Conference get the chance to nominate an ‘endorsed exceptional talent’. These chosen musicians are offered the opportunity to showcase their skills in full-fledged concerts at the festival, kickstarting their international career. Selected musicians engage in a multi-day program, featuring their own performances, collaborative sessions with fellow laureates, workshops, lectures, networking opportunities, and jam sessions. Moreover, all international laureates are invited to perform once more at the esteemed Amersfoort Jazz Festival, further amplifying their exposure and impact on the global jazz scene.
