Biopartner-ABC main sponsor Leiden Jazz Award

Leiden Jazz Geschiedenis Foundation is very glad to present Biopartner ABC as the new sponsor of the 13th edition the Leiden Jazz Award (2021), the yearly competition for young jazz musicians.

Biopartner continues its support that started with the 2020 edition but which due to Covid19, has did not get the attention we both hoped for. Biopartner nevertheless decided to renew its sponsorship and thereby make a 2021 edition possible.
The preliminaries of the Biopartner Leiden Jazz Award 2021 will take place on February 25 and March 11 2021, the finals on April 11. All events will be in Stadsgehoorzaal Leiden.

The winner of the 2021 edition will be invited to play at one of the meetings Biopartner organises at the Leiden Bo Science Park
