Taking place from 23 to 30 April, the 34th Tallinn International Jazzkaar Festival has announced its main programme that includes over 30 concerts with performers from 17 countries. Jazzkaar will present the most prominent artists in today’s local and international jazz scene and also focus on new works and albums as well as exciting special projects.
„Scale, mastery and the expansion of musical ideas are the keywords of this year’s festival. We are happy to welcome the biggest stars in the current jazz scene, such as Ben Wendel, The Baylor Project, Steve Coleman and Linda Fredriksson, closely followed by Kirke Karja, who is conquering European jazz stages with her special project Karja/Renard/Wandinger goes XL. I am looking forward to the masterpiece Ocean of Guitars composed by our talented musicians, the new performance of Erki Pärnoja’s heartfelt Story of One Hundred, this time performed with the Old Town Educational College String Orchestra conducted by Rasmus Puur, as well as Rahel Talts’ compositions for a 15-member ensemble. It is a proud feeling to see the unique “handwriting” of Estonian jazz become more and more clearly defined,” the artistic director of the festival, Anne Erm introduces the performers of the upcoming festival.
