Festival partners

Global private banking group EFG has a worldwide relationship with music and EFG London Jazz Festival is the centrepiece of this commitment. EFG has been the headline sponsor of the Festival since 2013 and continues to play a fundamental role in supporting the Festival programme and enabling its artistic ambitions.

EFG has been supporting the Festival since 2008, and together with Serious has co-created the EFG Elements Series, an annual collection of shows with broad appeal designed to showcase the breadth and diversity of the Festival programme and contemporary jazz.

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.

We love our association with our Official Hotel Partner Edwardian Group. 2020's Festival marks the seventh year of our partnership and we are thrilled to be working with them again this year. 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.

PRS Foundation and the EFG London Jazz Festival share a common belief that supporting the next generation of musical talent is imperative. 

Each year they provide funding for us to showcase the best emerging talent from across the UK on a globally accessible stage, changing the lives of our performers and giving them the opportunity to share their music with the world.

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.
