Jazz Winnipeg is proud to announce that it is leading a dynamic delegation of Manitoba-based artists and industry professionals to jazzahead! 2025—one of the world’s most prestigious and influential international jazz festivals + trade show.

Taking place in Bremen, Germany from April 24–26, 2025, jazzahead! serves as a global hub for the jazz community.

The Manitoba delegation presence is focused on creative export development by building meaningful connections, exploring international opportunities, and strengthening the visibility of Manitoba’s jazz scene in the European market. By participating in jazzahead!, Jazz Winnipeg and its delegation are positioning Manitoba’s jazz community on the world stage—highlighting the cultural richness that defines our prairie province while building economic and cultural ties to the province.

The Manitoba delegation includes artists Amber Epp, Ed Durocher, Jocelyn Gould, Tetyana Haraschuk, Zachary Rushing, Will Bonness and industry professional Elise Roller of Misfit Management. The delegation facilitator is Angela Heck.

The delegation is made possible with the support of funding from the Government of Canada through the Export Development Stream (EDS) of the Creative Export Canada program and Manitoba Music.
