Jazz Hamilton DEI Symphony Initiative

The Jazz Hamilton DEI Symphony Initiative

In our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Jazz Hamilton Arts Foundation launched the Jazz Hamilton DEI Symphony Initiative,
an ambitious endeavor aimed at bridging the gap between privilege and potential in the world of music. By providing aspiring musicians from
underrepresented communities and diverse backgrounds with the opportunity to collaborate and perform alongside renowned artists, this
initiative seeks to redefine the symphony of success, one note at a time.

Our Goals

Through the Jazz Hamilton DEI Symphony Initiative participants have the opportunity to gain valuable experience, develop their skills, and
connect with peers and mentors in the music industry. By bringing together diverse voices and talents, we aim to create inclusive and dynamic
music performances that celebrate the richness of our diversity and shared human experience. At the Jazz Hamilton Arts Foundation, our
aim is to empower participants from diverse backgrounds to pursue their musical aspirations with confidence and determination, equipped
with the experience and connections gained through their involvement in the Jazz Hamilton DEI Symphony Initiative.

providing them with the support and guidance they need to succeed in collaborative music making.
