Ken Page Memorial Trust

Read Profile

The Ken Page Memorial Trust is a non-profit charitable fund supporting jazz and the artists who create such lasting memories for all of us. The aims of the Trust are to encourage emerging talent, foster an understanding of the evolution of the music, promote jazz education through workshops, masterclasses and outreach programs conducted by established professionals, and to provide financial aid to jazz musicians on an emergency basis.

The KPMT holds annual jazz fundraisers featuring some of the world’s leading jazz artists and honours jazz professionals with its Lifetime Achievement Award; it also presents seasonal performances of Jim Galloway’s Wee Big Band and among others provides grants to the University of Toronto Faculty of Music and the Ken Page Memorial Trust Scholarship Award in memory of Ron Collier held at Humber College. Donation appeals through the KPMT Annual Review have established a special fund for musician support once local venues resume regular live music programming. Sincere thanks to all our loyal patrons who have responded so generously.
