The EJN Award for Adventurous Programming 2014 goes to the Jazz em Agosto, Lisbon
The jury of independent jazz experts and EJN representatives unanimously agreed to give the EJN Award for Adventurous Programming 2014 to Jazz em Agosto, Lisbon, produced by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
Following the second EJN Award in 2013, of which the worthy recipient was Bimhuis, Amsterdam, the third award goes to a long-established festival which for the 30 years since its foundation has led the way in programming adventurous Jazz in Europe.
In time, a festival develops its own character, a distinctive style that’s compounded of place, programming and audience. Lisbon's Jazz em Agosto may be defined in part by the singularity of its physical setting, benefiting from Lisbon’s consistently warm, sunny summer weather. Nightly concerts take place in the outdoor amphitheatre, set in a park that blurs the line between forest and garden.
Jazz em Agosto is produced by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a Portuguese private institution whose statutory aims are in the fields of arts, education, science and charity.
Established for over 50 years, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation stands out as one of the most important European foundations undertaking a vast range of activities both in Portugal and internationally ; ranging from implementing its own projects, in partnership with other entities, or through the awarding of grants and subsidies. The Foundation runs delegations in Paris and London, the cities in which Calouste Gulbenkian lived.
