AGNESE DAVERIO (EDINBURGH JAZZ & BLUES FESTIVAL)
After obtaining a Masters Degree in Festival and Event Management from Edinburgh Napier University in 2012, Agnese started her journey in jazz/blues promotion in Scotland. Since then, she has been producing over 30 jazz and blues festivals across Scotland– alongside veteran jazz promoters Fiona Alexander and Roger Spence.
Agnese really loves the festival scene in Scotland, over the years she has also collaborated with a number of non jazz-blues Scottish Festivals, including: Kelburn Garden Party, Hidden Door Festival (making EJBF the first Festival to collaborate with Hidden Door in 2017), The Edinburgh Festival of Sound and Wee Dub Festival – to name a few. Starting as an intern 8 years ago, Agnese is now the Programme and Production Manager for Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival, responsible for curating the programming and managing the production of all EJBF’s promotions – over 180 concerts per year.
