Profile
【JAZZ ART Executive Committee 】
In April 2019, the main artists and production staff established JAZZ ART SEN GAWA to take over the management of JAZZ ART SEN GAWA which has been held every year since 2008 as a project of Chofu City SEN GAWA Theater. In close cooperation with the residents of the Sengawa area, we aim to continue to contribute to our goal of "fostering a deep community that embraces diverse values." It has been recognized internationally as a festival representing Japanese experimental and improvisational music, and since 2018 it has been exchanging talents with FIMAV, an experimental music festival in Quebec, Canada.
