Values

THE BRISBANE VOCAL JAZZ FESTIVAL is a 5 day festival with local, national and international singers.

BVJF celebrates the global diversity of the Vocal jazz art form and aims to showcase and cultivate a genuine and generous listening presence between audience and artists – as well as giving voice to exemplary local artists, who would benefit from the opportunity.

The Brisbane Vocal Jazz Festival (BVJF) and Brisbane Jazz Club’s (BJC) intention and philosophy is to promote vocal excellence and diversity in Queensland so that all jazz singers feel supported and encouraged to excel in their own hometown, as well as present world-class performances to a dedicated and growing audience.

“The importance of a specialist Vocal Jazz Festival as a distinct art form needs to be preserved, providing a powerful voice for the future and celebrates vocal jazz and improvisation as a unique art form that can help mould and reflect the society in which it belongs!”

Ingrid James, Artistic Director (BVJF)
