B-Jazz ’25: On the Hunt for Promising Belgian Jazz Talent

B-Jazz International Contest will once again search for fresh jazz talent in 2025, ready to conquer international stages! For this, Muziekmozaïek is collaborating with De Jazzontspooring, Pelt Jazz and Rataplan.  

With three preliminary rounds this spring at stunning venues in Harelbeke (March 21), Antwerp (April 3), and Pelt (April 4), nine Belgian bands will have the chance to prove themselves and advance to the grand final in the fall. There, the two best Belgian groups will compete against four international jazz bands for the Grand Prize Albert Michiels. The winner will have the opportunity to perform on international stages in Spain, Italy, Romania, the Netherlands, and, of course, Belgium.  

Does this sound like music to your ears? Are you and your band members under the age of 30? Do you hold Belgian nationality or reside in Belgium? Then be sure to register before Monday, January 6, 2025, via www.bjazz.be!  

B-Jazz International Contest aims to discover, support, and inspire young jazz talent. For 45 years, this international competition has offered ambitious jazz musicians the chance to perform for a professional jury and an enthusiastic audience.
