12 Points!
Europe's New Jazz
Wednesday 9th - Saturday 12th February 2011, Project Arts Centre, Dublin, Ireland
"12 Points showed just how diverse, vibrant and imaginative music has become in the Old World. Already unique, it has the potential to grow into something important, like the Sundance film festival." - The Irish Times
Four nights , twelve young bands, the best that Europe has to offer.
In 2011, 12 Points!, the critically acclaimed festival and showcase for emerging European jazz talent, returns to Dublin after a successful edition in Stavanger, Norway.
In alternate years, the festival will be hosted by a partner city, making new networks of musical exchange between Dublin and other centres of creativty from all points on the European map.
If you are an ensemble or solo artist in your mid 20s to early 30s and would like to be considered for the festival programme, we are now taking online submissions for the 2011 edition.
