Focusyear Basel
Spend a year dedicated entirely to music.
The Focusyear is a one-year program for an internationally assembled ensemble of up to nine emerging musicians. Through regular coaching with leading artists from the international jazz scene, participants deepen their artistic practice, develop their own musical voice and gain experience as performers, composers and collaborators.
Based at the Jazzcampus Basel, the program combines rehearsals, concerts, recording sessions and creative exchange. Throughout the year, the ensemble develops concert programs, performs regularly and records an album in the school's own recording studio.
Selected participants receive a full scholarship covering tuition and living expenses, allowing them to focus entirely on music.
