Edinburgh Napier University Jazz Summer School

📣 Our Novus programme is LIVE!

https://ejbf.co.uk/collections/novus

Join us this March for a series of concerts celebrating new music and showcasing some of the most inventive artists on the Scottish scene. From Western and Indian classical music to Scottish traditional music and contemporary styles like hip hop, the unifying theme among these artists is their innovative approach to blending traditional forms with contemporary influences. Novus provides a platform where musical boundaries are explored and is a testament to the power of music as a universal language.
