IN UMEÅ YOU WILL FIND A UNIQUE SCENE FOR JAZZ AND IMPROVISED MUSIC. THIS CULTURAL AND INNOVATIVE CENTRE IN THE NORTH OF SWEDEN HAS OVER THE YEARS PRODUCED THE HIGHEST YIELD OF JAZZ MUSICIANS IN SWEDEN. IT ALSO HAS ONE OF THE MOST EXCELLENT JAZZ CLUBS – UMEÅ JAZZSTUDIO – AND AN EXTREMELY DEVOTED AUDIENCE.
Since 1968, the highlight of all jazz music events in Sweden is the Umeå International Jazz Festival, one of Scandinavia’s oldest and most respectable festivals. This year’s festival opens on October 26th at NorrlandsOperan – the pre- senter of the festival – and closes at the club – StudioJazz – on Sunday night October 30th. The majority of the performances will take place on different stages and venues at Umeå Folkets Hus from Thursday to Sunday. Every stage has a different character: In the JazzLab you can take part of the experimental jazz environment, the club Äpplet gives you the opportunity to eat, drink, dance and listen to performances by different groups. In Freja JazzCorner you can nd anything from an unknown jazz singer to well-known bands from this northern region. The StudioJazz offers an intimate international club atmosphere while in the SoundGarden we will introduce the players of vision in close-up format. The IdunTheatre is the main stage of the festival and gives you the possibility to listen to both international legends and brand new stars. And don’t miss Umeimpro, our seminar/ workshop series during the week.
