Foster encourages musicians, especially the youths interested in jazz, to register.
Meanwhile, Foster President, Alexander Yee Kok Tsen, emphasised that the Sepilok Jazz Academy is not only a platform for experiencing and showcasing talent in the jazz genre but also a catalyst for participants’ involvement in healthy activities and personal development.
“Sandakan’s musical talents and those from across Sabah and Malaysia are warmly invited to join this transformative programme and make a significant impact on the world of jazz music,” Yee said during the Sepilok Jazz Academy’s launch in Sandakan, recently.
