๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ณ๐ณ ๐๐ซ๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ is an initiative for young women and gender diverse musicians which builds a bridge between music education on the secondary and tertiary levels, into the professional music world. As the wider jazz community consists predominantly of male musicians, Spectra also empowers and creates a supportive space for its members to grow as musicians. ๐๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ฎ ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐จ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฏ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฏ-๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ ๐จ, ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐จ ๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ค๐ช๐จ ๐ผ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ก๐๐๐ฃ ๐ข๐ช๐จ๐๐.
