IMC Presents Jazz Camp for Girls, UCD
Jazz Camp for Girls comes to UCD School of Music this summer! During this 3 day music summer camp, girls aged 11-15 will explore jazz music and improvisation in a supportive and fun environment that also celebrates the role of women in music.
Led by professional musicians, the camps are designed to give girls their first experience of improvised music and develop confidence in their personal musicality and creative expression.
This European-wide initiative is presented in Ireland by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon funded Improvised Music Company.

We are excited to be able to support this summer school as part of our 4-year (Irish Research Council-Science Foundation Ireland funded) Pathway project and to contribute to the dedication of our project partner – Improvised Music Company – to nurturing improvised music in Ireland.
