INFO
Business and Arts South Africa celebrates mutually and beneficial partnerships between the business and arts sector. As a member at BASA, Standard Bank is one of the biggest contributors to the arts industry. Collaborations are a key standout feature of festivals allowing for unique pairings that might not otherwise be seen. The Standard Bank Jazz Festival in Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) is one of the few in the country that has always encouraged the idea of collaborations giving local artists a platform to play with international like-minded musicians. This year’s 32nd festival running from 27 June – 7 July, boasts plenty of diverse players from across the world coming together for this purpose. One of the main highlights of the festival annually is the anticipation around exciting collaborations in the Standard Bank Young Artist’s chosen projects. This year’s Jazz Festival promises to be an unforgettable one, with a diverse and talented line-up featuring some of the best names in local and international jazz.
