The Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts’ answer to celebrating 60 years of making and showcasing music is Soundscapes for Tomorrow: Stage One Residencies. The program honors the past, present and future of local jazz. Through five immersive artist residencies, led by nationally and internationally acclaimed jazz artists, Soundscapes for Tomorrow is creating new works, rehearsals, artist conversations, master classes, and public workshops about contemporary jazz. Artists are selected by a committee and represent themes examining “the reimagining of jazz through Puerto Rican Indigenous music, the evolution of new genres through cultural fusion.” Participants in the residencies create and perform world-premiere performances at the Clef Club, supported by live streaming and professional video documentation.
Resident artists are supported with honoraria, travel, lodging, rehearsal space, access to multitrack recording studios, professional audio and video production, as well as the Clef Club’s historic jazz archives. Support the endeavor at the Clef Club 60th Anniversary Awards Celebration honoring program participants and community cultural leaders, past and present. Pennsylvania Sen. Vincent J. Hughes will host the program. The evening will be capped off with a performance by Tia Fuller, who will present the world premiere of her commissioned Soundscapes for Tomorrow work. Fuller is a saxophonist, composer, educator, and member of Beyoncé’s touring band. The event will reflect the Clef Club’s goal to preserve and promote jazz through education, performances, and cultural engagement.
