Jazz Danmark is collaborating with Tivoli to honor Danish jazz musicians at the Tivoli Jazz Prize 2025. Experience the award ceremony on Wednesday, September 3rd, in Glassalen, where the grant recipients will perform alongside the Tivoli Orchestra.

Naya Buric to host for the third time

Naya Buric, Head of Music and radio host at DR P8 Jazz, has solidified her position as one of Denmark’s most prominent jazz communicators. Her abilities as a host and communicator are showcased in the award-winning podcast “Uden Sidestykke,” which was named “Music Program of the Year” at Prix Audio.

With great poise and captivating narratives about the music and the award recipients, Naya has hosted the Tivoli Jazz Prize twice before. Her ability to bring jazz to life beyond the stage makes her an ideal host for the tribute show, and we are very pleased to have her on board for the third time.
