About Perth International Jazz Festival (PIJF)
Established in 2012, PIJF was the brainchild of the late Associate Professor Graham Wood. In its very first year, the festival achieved remarkable recognition, ranking 4th in Time Out’s ‘Top 7 Australian Jazz Festivals’ (August 2013) and earning a spot in The West Australian’s Arts ‘Best in the West’ (2013).
PIJF’s primary mission is to promote jazz music to a broad audience, both locally and internationally. It aspires to bring the transcendent beauty of jazz to Western Australia by showcasing the talents of musicians from across Australia and around the world. The festival takes pride in presenting creative programs in an accessible and vibrant manner. The long-term vision is to become nationally and internationally acclaimed as one of the world’s iconic jazz festivals, drawing renowned jazz performers from every corner of the globe.
