THE SHE JAZZ PROJECT
~ GENDER EQUALITY MEETS WORLD CLASS JAZZ ~
Recognizing a gender disparity in jazz, Pinecrest Gardens, South Florida’s Cultural Arts Park, will launch the nation’s first She Jazz Project this summer. The unique mentorship program will encompass a diverse group of young female jazz musicians, ages 14-20, from across South Florida, who will rehearse together once a week (Sundays 4-7pm), study and perform, side-by-side, with renowned female mentor artists.
“Since its origins, jazz has been grossly underrepresented by women,” says Pinecrest Gardens’ Executive Director Alana Perez, who conceived of the idea for the She Jazz Project. “Through this innovative program, our goal is to help bridge the gender gap in jazz and create a transformative experience for emerging female artists. The She Jazz Project is a safe, welcoming space for young women (identifying, transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming players) of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds to discover their voice and be heard through the power of female mentorship.”
The goal: Create a platform to encourage local, young women to pursue meaningful experiences in jazz.
This unique mentorship program, commencing in mid-June of 2021 and will begin with an application process due by June 11, 2021. This program will be FREE to everyone accepted.
