Festival Jazz en Tech
28th July - 4th August
Jazz en Tech
Jazz en Tech 2024 – from 28th July to 4th August – has been designed to be bigger and better than ever!
Organisers have decided to focus the events in one central artistic hub, and where better than Céret?
Of course, there will also be fantastic events in other venues along the Tech valley too, including the festival opening weekend in the incredible cloisters of Saint Génis des Fontaines and a toe-tappin’ extravaganza in ‘swinging’ Corsavy!
The second big change is that the annually event is being extended to offer a full four-season programme, keeping even the most avid jazzman satiated.
Jazz au Cloître
28th & 29th July, Cloisters, Saint Génis des Fontaines
The festival opens with serious clout! Enjoy an all-female programme with not one but TWO concerts in the beautiful 12th century cloisters of St Génis.
First up: Les Livi’zz, a vocal group created by pianist Philippe Khoury, whose vocal quality and diversity of repertoire are sure to bring a smile to your face.
Next: Jeanne Michard, a rising French saxaphonist, who will present her Latin Quintet, full of shimmering sounds and scintillating swing.
