Barcelona International Jazz Festival 2012

Barcelona Jazz Festival 2012

Barcelona Jazz Festival 2012Whether you’re a jazz enthusiast or you just love the smooth sound of the sax, the month of November in Barcelona will leave you wanting for nothing in the music department. The Voll-Damm International Jazz Festival has been held in Barcelona every year since 1966, and continues to invite the top jazz performers from all over the world. This year will be no different as the Catalan capital plays host to some of the biggest names in jazz from October 30th right through to November 30th 2012.

Concerts are held all over the city in various venues including the famous Liceu Conservatory and the Palau de la Música Catalana, as well as some cool dives like the Harlem Jazz Club. There are nearly 80 concerts during the month, including smaller shows featuring new and promising artists from the local scene. Plus, there are plenty of performances by non-jazz musicians too, so don’t worry if the Dixieland styles aren’t quite to your taste. Tickets are relatively easy to get your hands on so the only thing you have to think about is choosing which of the live music shows you want to see the most!

 

Free Concerts

If you’re interested in an evening full of rhythmic jazz music but are on a bit of a budget, be sure to check out one of these artists. Spike Wilner will be performing on Tuesday the 26th November and Les Jams de Liceu will be performing on Thursday the 15th, 22nd, and 29th of November in the Liceu Conservatory – all with free admission.  There are more free shows taking place at public venues, so keep an eye on the festival’s program on the Barcelona Jazz Festival website for more information.

How to Buy Tickets
