Pannonica / Nantes Jazz Action

Opened in the fall of 1994 by the association Nantes Jazz Action, Pannonica is the Nantes jazz and improvised music scene. It bets on discovery and emergence, which contribute to its international influence. It’s a non profit association and we are 6 in the staff (cultural action, administration, production, communication, ticketing, director and artistic director). We organize about 70 concerts a year, 10/15 residencies and we have a cultural action program to work with different audiences, from the youngest to the oldest. We can receive 140 people seated, 200 standing and 500 in a room that is just above, connected to the Pannonica. We are supported by the city of Nantes, the state, the department and the region.
