The Volunteer Services Team
Since 1987, the TD Halifax Jazz Festival has organized a diverse range of musical and educational activities, including the annual Halifax Jazz Festival. Formerly known as the Atlantic Jazz Festival, HJF is the oldest jazz festival and largest summer festival in Atlantic Canada. Designated a Hallmark Event by the Halifax Regional Municipality, the festival attracts up to 65,000 visitors, involves over 500 volunteers and employs over 350 local musicians.
As a registered non-profit organization HJF has widened its horizons beyond the successful TD Halifax Jazz Festival to become involved throughout the year in a diverse range of musical and educational activities.
HJF’s mandate includes activities, such as JazzLabs, pop up concerts, and the Evergreen Stage series. We develop opportunities for amateur musicians, established local artists and the local “jazz aristocracy”. We bring renowned performers from many parts of the world to a city that doesn’t always find itself on the maps of touring artists.
In brief, we think Jazz is important to the culture which we’d like to have, and we want to make sure that kind of culture is strong in Halifax, where we love to live.
