ABOUT JAZMIN
Jazmin Ealden is a versatile musician, educator, and arts advocate based in Cambridge, UK. With over a decade of experience in both performance and education, Jazmin is passionate about fostering creative collaboration and innovation in the classical and contemporary saxophone world.
She holds a Bachelor of Music (Honours, First Class) from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), where she studied under Dr. Matthew Styles. Jazmin has been invited to perform at venues and festivals internationally, including solo recitals in Shanghai, Melbourne, and Perth, and orchestral performances with the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) and Vienna Pops Orchestra. Her performance experience includes prominent works such as Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, and Ravel’s Bolero. Jazmin is known for her ability to blend genres, with a special focus on promoting contemporary and multi-stylistic works for saxophone.
In addition to her performance experience, Jazmin has developed a significant teaching practice. She has held faculty positions at WAAPA, where she taught classical saxophone students, and has led multiple chamber ensembles, including WAAPA’s dynamic saxophone group, Phone Co.. As an educator, Jazmin is committed to supporting young talent and empowering students to explore their creative potential in their own way. She draws on her research into performer-composer collaboration and gender diversity in the classical saxophone community, areas in which she is a passionate advocate.
Her background extends beyond the music stage to arts administration and policy advocacy, where she has worked with organisations such as Britten Sinfonia (UK), Musica Viva Australia (Aus), and CREATE Foundation (Aus). Jazmin’s experience in stakeholder engagement, project management, and strategic development has allowed her to influence meaningful change in both the arts and social policy sectors, with a particular focus on advocating for access and inclusion in arts education.
Jazmin continues to work on both long-term artistic collaborations and advocacy projects, always striving to promote diversity, innovation, and the importance of music in the community. She is committed to using her platform to foster dialogue, support emerging artists, and create lasting impact within the music community.
