The foundation’s main mission is the dissemination of Music, Dance and the Arts as well as carrying out impactful projects in order to reach large audiences on a national and international scale.
Another key mission is using music through the organization of concerts, live performances as well as workshops as a tool of social integration with the aim of reaching all kinds of audiences and participants from all ages including individuals that suffer from physical and intellectual disabilities.
Clasijazz strives to establish ties with other cultural institutions in order to reach more audiences, with a special focus on children and young adults, to raise awareness of the arts as well as educate and shape future generations.
Moreover, promoting intercultural exchanges around art, music and dance represents another important mission for the foundation. Clasijazz is a space for interdisciplinary creation and experimentation that explores different cultures and music styles ranging from Jazz to Flamenco and Ethnic Music with a special focus on improvisation.
Finally, Clasijazz places high emphasis on promoting their work and cause in order to inspire individuals in creating their own self-managed cultural structures.
One of the main initiatives of the foundation is the elaboration and diffusion of performing art concerts.
In the past seasons internationally-acclaimed artists such as Barry Harris, Lee Konitz, Gary Bartz, Eric Alexander, Ignacio Berroa, Enrico Pieranunzi, Jim Rotondi, Joe Magnarelli, Jerry Bergonzi and Joe Lovano as well as important internationally-renowned national artists such as Perico Sambeat, Ignasi Terraza, Albert Bover, Albert Sanz, Iñaki Salvador have performed at Clasijazz.
The foundation also organizes conferences, master classes, and workshops on a monthly basis such as the Velorio Poetico, or Ciencia Jazz that welcomes researchers, artists, and professional speakers from different cultural and professional sectors that present a wide range of interdisciplinary subjects extending from the arts to science in the aim of creating and promoting rich cultural exchanges.
Finally, Clasijazz organizes didactic concerts with the big band and the orchestra as well as the dance department to reach tens of thousands of children and students.
Clasijazz can contribute to the network in various ways starting by sharing past experiences with the other members as well as participating in the elaboration of common projects put in place by the members of the network.
The headquarters can also be used as a space to hold intercultural meetings and organize new intercultural projects especially related to music and dance.
Clasijazz can also connect with other interdisciplinary entities that can help promote, develop and spread Mediterranean
We find it crucial to be able to connect with other organizations in order to establish a fruitful dialogue where advice and experiences can be mutually shared thus helping each other grow and establishing programs to further promote Mediterranean culture. It would be a great opportunity to help the ALF by sharing our own experience and learning from the experience of other organizations and projects that are being carried out in the framework of the ALF.
