The John Armitage Memorial Trust (JAM)
JAM is an exciting, forward-thinking organisation, that was set up to nurture, promote & perfrom new music in the UK.
JAM, founded in 2000, has an annual ‘call for music’, during which anyone, of any age can submit music. From these submissions & an annual commission, JAM creates a concert series that it tours round the UK.
Composers commissioned by JAM include: Judith Bingham, Jonathan Dove, Adam Gorb, Timothy Jackson, John McCabe, Paul Patterson and for 2008 Gabriel Jackson and 2009 Joe Duddell.
"An evocative performance to remember. All in all this was a very impressive musical event. The JAM initiative deserves to be supported." Edinburgh Evening News.

"JAM has collected together and commissioned lots of really enjoyable, serious, listenable music for voices & brass, just like Gabrielli 400 years ago. JAM has managed to wisely choose and commission great new music & supports the finest performances of it on a scale that no other group is doing in the UK. Hotbrass.com
JAM's call for music is now closed until later this year.
