In celebration of International Jazz Day, the United Nations Office for Partnerships will convene an event in collaboration with UN Fashion and Lifestyle Network members WBGO, a leading non-profit arts and cultural institution and jazz radio station with a global reach, and JAZZ HOUSE KiDS, a prominent arts and education organization. The programme will explore jazz through an intergenerational lens, bringing together established artists and young emerging musicians.
Through a panel discussion and live performance, participants will reflect on how jazz is experienced and carried forward across generations—highlighting shared influences, evolving perspectives, and the role of mentorship in sustaining the art form. The conversation will focus on how jazz inspires creative solutions, strengthens communities, and contributes to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By bridging generations, the convening will illustrate the enduring power of jazz to foster learning, inclusion, and resilience, while driving positive social and cultural impact worldwide.
