Their Extraordinary Summer Showcase marks the first of our Riverside Sessions and is a chance to see the next generation of young jazz talent performing live.

Over the last 35 years, the Tomorrow’s Warriors Young Artists’ Development Programme has changed the musical landscape of the UK by nurturing the talents of a host of incredible artists including Mercury Prize-winners Ezra Collective, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Sheila Maurice-Grey, Cassie Kinoshi and Nérija, among many others.

Tomorrow’s Warriors, a Southbank Centre Resident Organisation, is a pioneering music nonprofit, specialising in jazz and ensuring that young people locked out of opportunity have access to the resources, social networks and platforms they need to flourish in music and to live into their full creative vision, goals and dreams.

Founded in 1991 by Gary Crosby OBE and Janine Irons OBE, Tomorrow’s Warriors helps aspiring young artists from diverse backgrounds discover their magic and achieve their creative ambitions.

The Southbank Centre’s Riverside Sessions are part of our 75th birthday celebrations and have been curated entirely by young people. Come along, whatever your age, to celebrate youth as a mindset – not a number.
