MONTREUX JAZZ ARTISTS FOUNDATION

The Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation (MJAF) is a recognized non-profit foundation that supports the next generation of artists and encourages exchanges through the universal language of music. Founded in 2007, the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation pursues two core objectives: discovering and nurturing talented musicians in the early stages of their careers and making music accessible to all.

Year-round, the MJAF generates powerful discoveries and encounters through its artistic residencies, its cultural activities, and its talent-development programs.
