Leave your preconceptions at the door as you enter. This event is 18 years old but offers something totally fresh every time.
Throughout the Festival, the largest of its kind in the UK, Serious presents over 200 events in venues all over the capital, involving international stars and new talent and everything in-between. It is a creative feast of commissions, collaborations, free and participatory events.
“A catalytic effect on the UK jazz scene all through the year.” The Guardian
“As a demonstration of the power of live music to attract people in their thousands it’s mighty impressive.” The Observer
The Festival reaches audiences of 70,000 and many more on air and online via BBC Radio 3, UK Station of the Year in the 2009 Sony Radio Academy awards. The Festival is broadcast exclusively by BBC Radio 3, which has been the Festival’s principal media partner since 2001.
“Two million people have heard music in the London Jazz Festival over the past 10 days thanks to the Festival’s association with the BBC which adds radio and TV audiences to the fans at the 100 or so events held across London.” The Observer
