The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music has

increase the awareness of jazz as a fun way to make music, effective way to
communicate, at schools around Durban.
The concert celebrates jazz in all its
diversity and talented young musicians in KZN. The concert will also feature
ensembles and soloists from the amazing pool of talent the Centre has
encountered during its school visits.
International Jazz Day brings together
communities, schools, artists, historians, academics, and jazz enthusiasts all
over the world to celebrate and learn about jazz and its roots, future and
impact; raise awareness of the need for intercultural dialogue and mutual
understanding; and reinforce international cooperation and communication.
Each year on April 30, this international
art form is recognized for promoting peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity,
and respect for human rights and human dignity; eradicating discrimination;
promoting freedom of expression; fostering gender equality; and reinforcing the
role of youth in enacting social change. https://jazzday.com/
