JAM
“There are few organisations with such a specific commitment to encouraging and performing new music…” Classical Music Magazine
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.
