JAM
JAM is above all a creative, dynamic, forward-thinking organisation, formed with one purpose in mind. Since 2000 we have existed purely to nurture, commission, perform and promote new music in the UK.
Unlike so many ‘narrow-band’ organisations today, every year JAM puts out a ‘call for music’, for which anyone, of any age, status or creed can submit their composition. From these innovative submissions and an annual commission, JAM creates an exciting, whirlwind series of concerts to tour the UK, showcasing new composers and bringing their music to new audiences, critics and the Media. The tour is performed by highly skilled professional and amateur musicians. This year 75% have been aged 8-21 years old.
