Filbert Marova is the founder of the Zimbabwe Jazz Community Trust, a registered non-profit trust whose vision is to make Zimbabwe and associated communities culturally rich and entertained through the proliferation of jazz music appreciation and education. Its mission is to increase the skills levels, diffusion of knowledge and popularity of jazz music in our associated communities. The Zimbabwe Jazz Community stages a series of high quality jazz performances on a weekly basis under the banner “Back2Jazzics”, which started in the month of May 2016. Hand-picked local jazz artists perform at these themed shows and present well-polished, high quality performances in a family-friendly environment. These jazz performances are an opportunity for both well-known and lesser-known jazz artists to be highlighted. Remarkable progress has been made as a result of the competition inspired by this weekly event where musicians always try to outdo their previous performance.

Filbert holds a Bachelor of Music (Jazz) from Africa University in conjunction with Zimbabwe College of Music. He also holds a Diploma in Ethnomusicology from Indiana University in conjunction with the Zimbabwe College of Music. Filbert is affiliated to the Zimbabwe Association of Music Educators
