About Festival Jazz International Rotterdam
Since 2001, Rotterdam has organised a successful jazz festival with up-to-date, adventurous and high-quality jazz. Festival Jazz International Rotterdam offers a multi-day jazz program of national and international allure with ample attention for Rotterdam creators, young talent, new projects and in-depth peripheral programming.
Festival Jazz International Rotterdam is intimate. It offers visitors (and the artists) an adventurous and intense music experience. As a result, it has acquired its own identity and place within the Rotterdam, national and now also international jazz scene. Since 2016, this festival has collaborated with a sister festival, which takes place simultaneously: Festival Jazz International Nijmegen.
The scene and sound of Rotterdam
Jazz International Rotterdam ascertains that Rotterdam needs a strong ecosystem propitious to the creation and stimulation of a high-quality jazz scene. Jazz creators, artists, composers, musicians from and in Rotterdam must be able to (further) develop their art and build up an audience. This is why there is a lot of room for musicians with a foot in Rotterdam and their projects during Festival Jazz International Rotterdam.
What the Rotterdam artists present, we put in context and enrich with the addition of (inter) national artists. Jazz, hip hop, electronics, impro and many crossovers characterize the program, all of which with a distinctive Rotterdam character. Anyone who wants to discover innovative music and experience it in an intimate setting, close to the musicians should not miss Festival Jazz International Rotterdam at the end of October.
