Festival partners

We are delighted to be working with Champagne Thiénot, because of our common passion for the arts and culture. A modern family-run Champagne house favouring quality over quantity, creativity over traditionalism, Champagne Thiénot has a youthful approach, focusing on originality amongst older counterparts. These principles resonate throughout the artistic excellence of our programming.

Case Study

• Hospitality: Champagne Thiénot supported the VIP Hospitality Receptions for the Festival’s Opening Night Gala Jazz Voice in the Royal Festival Hall as well as Marcus Miller in the same venue. These high-end networking events had over 400 attendees, with Champage Thiénot centrally positioned and the Brut NV enjoyed by all those in attendance.
• Tickets: Champagne Thiénot guests, staff and clients availed of 22 tickets throughout the festival, from Jazz Voice to Norah Jones, RIOPY and London Brew.
• Marketing: To ring in the New Year, we ran a successful competition to win a bottle of Champagne Thiénot Brut NV signed by Marcus Miller via our Social Media and Newsletter channels.

We love our association with our Official Hotel Partner Edwardian Group. We share with the Edwardian Group a commitment to culture, creativity and innovation; one that manifests itself in the wide-ranging Festival programme as well as in Edwardian’s forward-thinking hotels.

Case Study

• Performance Activations: Noemi Nuti and her pianist Rupert Cox performed at Edwardian’s Scoff & Banter in South Kensington during the festival. Hotel guests and audiences enjoyed live original jazz and interpretations of romantic Jazz standards alongside dinner and drinks.
• Artist Accommodation: 16 artists and their groups stayed at Edwardian Hotels throughout the festival.
• Tickets: Edwardian guests, staff and clients availed of 50 complimentary tickets throughout the festival.
• Marketing: The EFG London Jazz Festival 2023 launch film was filmed at The Londoner, which acted as the perfect backdrop to our primary campaign content. The film was screened to guests at the launch party and amplified online.

We are extremely proud of our long association with BBC Radio 3, which goes back to the first iteration of the EFG London Jazz Festival (as it is now known – back then it was simply the London Jazz Festival) in 1993. We work closely together each year to produce a dynamic and forward looking programme of events and broadcasts which reflects the exciting nature of the British Jazz scene.

Our partnership with Jazz FM focuses on key values that compliment each other’s contribution to the music industry and is characterised by our joint commitment to championing jazz. 

Each year we collaborate on a wide variety of broadcasts and programmes that showcase a wide definition of the genre, from international icons to home-grown talent and rising stars.

Working with Jazzwise has been a pleasure as we share a dedication to showcasing the very best of Jazz from the UK and across the world. 

Every year we share content around the Festival in terms of artists, programmes and behind the scenes insights giving readers and audiences a rounded view of this great Festival.

The Arts Validation Network, (c) is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes musicians, performers and visual artists and their work by providing them with platforms for performances, community education and validation. This work also nourishes the audiences and students of these arts.

TAVN broadcasts two streaming radio stations--TAVN Jazz and TAVN Free-Form.

TAVN believes that people are looking for something beyond the predictable models that define contemporary radio. Our two stations present artists and programs in the spirit of risk-taking. Our on-air hosts and performers have abundant artistic freedom, not restrained by national trends and ‘targets’ to hit. Our target is to be driven by the music community and to connect the artists and the audience together: the essence of validation.

TAVN founder Janine Santana is a conguera, a stage actor, and a radio host. Based in Colorado, USA, Janine has a performing artist’s perspective and a deep understanding of jazz music’s important presence in the continuing development of world music. Together with a passionate board of directors from several US cities, she has created a vision of accessible artistic presentation for the international audience.

Each year, the EFG London Jazz Festival demonstrates its commitment to diversity, access and artistic excellence through its innovative and dynamic programme. As we emerge from a period of global adversity and we look ahead to an evolving cultural landscape, the Festival seeks to thrive at the forefront of British culture. 

Serious, who produce the Festival, work nationally and internationally to develop the next generation of artists and young producers through Talent Development schemes, to break barriers to music through Creative Engagement programmes, and to shape a musical future which challenges inequality and reflects the diversity of jazz and of the UK.

This commitment forms a crucial part of the Festival’s ethos as well as underpinning the vision of live music producer Serious. Arts Council England is proud to continue supporting this work, via National Portfolio Organisation funding through Serious.
