During the two week artistic and cultural exchange program, the musicians will meet with leading representatives of American jazz, cultural and academic institutions and conduct informational sessions, performances, jam sessions, and visits to schools and jazz music institutions.

The Cultural Visitor Program is designed to give select performing artists from key regions professional development opportunities in the United States and improve cross-cultural understanding.
