The “Rhythm of Success” is a new artist talk event series that aims to create a more inclusive and equitable jazz music industry by addressing the underrepresentation of women and non-binary individuals in jazz, and by promoting greater diversity in jazz education and performance opportunities. “Rhythm of Success” features panel discussions with renowned female artists, and therefore will provide a platform for all gender industry professionals and musicians to share their experiences and insights, and to offer strategies for promoting greater diversity in the industry. The audience will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers and ask questions, allowing for a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges facing jazz players today. The series aims to create a supportive community where participants can connect, collaborate, and grow together and also to ensure that all talented musicians have the opportunity to succeed and thrive in the jazz world.
The third event will feature Aarhus-based composer, ethnomusicologist, jazz pianist, church organist, big band arranger, and speaker Olga Witte. Olga is an educated advanced postgraduate composer from The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus. She has a MA from the University of Aarhus in musicology and anthropology and a degree as a church organist from Vestervig Kirkemusikskole. She is an experienced jazz pianist and organist (both classical and jazz), and she plays Balinese gamelan. Olga Witte is an innovative composer mixing experimental jazz and contemporary music with principles, structures, and practices from Balinese gamelan.
The “The Rhythm of Success” artist talk event series is supported by Spar Nord Fonden and organized by the Center for Dansk Jazzhistorie and pianist/composer Agne Pasaraviciene.
