Sibelius Academy in Helsinki is to host the first International Jazz
Voice Conference between 17-19 October this year. The theme of this
year's conference is Artistry in Jazz Singing and the keynote speakers
will include Carmen Lundy (pictured) and Michele Weir.

The International Jazz Voice Conference
in Helsinki is the first event of its type, organized for jazz singers
by jazz singers. The first edition of the IJVC comes from the acute need
for international specialists in the field to connect and interact.
IJVC aims to raise awareness of the importance and significance of jazz
singing among vocalists, musicians and the general public. IJVC is also a
platform for connecting professionals.

The conference organisers are now accepting submissions for papers to be featured at the event, with a deadline of April 15th. Their brief for submissions is quite wide, stating on their website that  

We welcome
proposals on the following topics: vocal jazz improvisation, sound
qualities and jazz voice technique, interpretation, traditional vocal
jazz, history of vocal jazz, stylistic directions of vocal jazz,
instrumentalists versus singers, vocal jazz pedagogy, vocal jazz
research, and vocal jazz in different countries/cultures. Proposals on
other topics related to jazz singing may also be considered, so please
send your abstract and topic.
