Fresh Talent Meets New Sound
The Brand New Jazz Festival acts as students’ creative platform. Having spent months working within their bands, students prepare to demonstrate their original compositions by connection to and through their instruments. At Codarts, jazz isn’t just learned — it’s explored through experimentation. 

A Night of the Unexpected
