New friendships among young jazz enthusiasts
The Jazzdalen Summer Camp is not just about musical development—it’s also about building new friendships and networks among young jazz lovers. The setting encourages both deep musical immersion and social connection, ensuring participants have an unforgettable experience.
A long-standing summer tradition since 2017
Since 2017, Jazzdalen has been a beloved summer tradition where young musicians come together to explore the world of jazz. The camp builds on a long history of jazz gatherings but with a special focus on musicians under 18. Jazzdalen also promotes diversity in the music community and encourages participation from people of all genders. The instructor team is equally balanced between men and women, all with extensive experience in jazz and teaching.
Young jazz musicians can sometimes be few and far between, but when they come together from all corners of Denmark, they form a unique group of like-minded individuals who share the same passion. In Jazzdalen—and especially within each participant—jazz can truly flourish. This experience is both inspiring and eye-opening, creating an important awareness that kindred spirits are everywhere, just waiting to be found.

What do the participants say?
“This has been by far the best week of my summer vacation! A week with the most talented and kind young musicians, along with a bunch of inspiring instructors. I was placed in an amazing band and had a fantastic time all week, with evening jam sessions, relaxation time, various workshops, band rehearsals, and great food. I highly recommend it—and I’ll definitely be back next year!”
