Help grow the future of jazz in Western Australia with a donation to the WA Jazz Project
Concert events
Jazz is a collaborative art form, and we feed off the honest energy you bring to our concerts.
Every performance is unique as our musicians improvise – feeding off the vibe of the room, exploring the nuances of the music together in real time, and bringing individual experiences to each and every performance.
With your help we can continue to present more opportunities to make music with you.

Putting it together
It takes weeks, months, and in some cases years to prepare for our performances.
Starting with our creative team: music is selected, arrangements are written, parts and scores prepared, our musicians practice and prepare their parts for rehearsal, before finally hitting the concert hall stage in performance.
Help us build capacity and infrastructure, commission new compositions and arrangements, and bring jazz to the concert hall stage.
