The festival features mainly contemporary and exciting Scandinavian and European jazz. We focus particularly on the interaction between the performers and the audience by means of the Focus lectures and also present a vibrant festival for aspiring jazz musicians and a young audience (Jazzfest.Ung).
Trondheim Jazz Festival has existed since 1979 (with a gap between 1985 and 1993) and has grown annually since the reestableshment in 1994. Last year we arranged 31 concerts, 9 focus lectures, and 15 concerts for youth (Jazzfest.Ung and children concerts). An audience of about 5600 enjoyed the jazz festival last year. The festival is organized as a non-profit organisation.
