KPMT Workshops

Each year, the Ken Page Memorial Trust (KPMT) sponsors a series of workshops presented at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival. The workshops, free and open to the public, feature top jazz artists and administrators in an interview setting discussing a variety of topics important to the current jazz scene. KPMT workshops are presented at the HMV Store at Metro Square, and are a great way to get behind the scenes of the jazz world and meet interesting people in an intimate, interactive and welcoming setting. The Ken Page Memorial Trust is also a generous supporter of the Youth Jazz Showcase and the Big Band Slam.
