25 new concerts, the majority featuring young local artists, many of which will take place on the Kursaal Terraces.
As in previous years, this edition will also include a jazz programme on the emblematic Kursaal Terraces, the setting for 21 concerts, specifically at the Frigo Gunea and on the Zurriola Terrace, from July 21 to 26.
The idea with these concerts is to draw attention to the fine quality of local groups who have played on these same stages in recent years. The Jazz Festival’s commitment to the new home-grown jazz scene has lost none of its strength with the health crisis.
This said, its responsibility and care required to deal with the threat of Covid-19 has had an enormous influence on the format in which said concerts will be presented.
On the one hand, from the artistic point of view, the 55th Jazz Festival has asked the musicians and groups to make the effort to present their music in a format we could describe as “chamber”: stripped of percussion and in formations of no greater than three people on stage. These measures are intended to prevent the music from encouraging the audience to stand up and dance, something that would make it impossible to control social distancing.
From the organisational point of view, the Kursaal terraces will take the shape of a bar-restaurant format, with a fixed maximum capacity of people and guaranteeing the distance between tables. The audience will therefore sit around tables at which food and drink will be served to them.
