High priority jazz promotion
With its three-year support programme, Pro Helvetia fosters selected young Swiss jazz bands that have already gained transregional acclaim, have undertaken international concert tours, and whose goal it is to enhance their presence in the international scene. The programme includes financial contributions towards tours, coaching offers and assistance in publicity matters.
The «High priority jazz promotion» programme was launched in 2005. The selected bands benefit from the promotional tool for a period of three years.
The funding programme «High Priority Jazz Promotion» is currently being evaluated and updated; it is at present not possible to apply. The offer with the updated programme and information on application possibilities will be published on our website in the course of 2023.
