Trondheim Jazz Festival and Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera (TSO) have been partners for several decades and have given the public a number of unique concert experiences. Equally unique is the project "Eastwood Symphonic", which will be the official opening concert for Jazzfest 2024 on Tuesday 7 May at 20:00.

Just listen: Clint Eastwood's musician son - Kyle Eastwood - is on stage with his quintet. Then it will all be taken out in the grandeur together with TSO.

What a pleasure to welcome 800 enthusiastic music lovers at Scandic Nidelven this Christmas - with 17 concerts and musical energy replenishment from over 80 local musicians in one evening.

Many thanks to everyone involved who helped make this evening happen - skilled musicians, volunteers, technicians, staff, sponsors and other supporters, and the continuation of a long-standing pleasant collaboration with Scandic Nidelven. New in 2023 was a record high sale of hotel packages, so it is clear that many people want to wake up to the country's best hotel breakfast!

And not least, a big thank you to you in the audience who turn up to listen, dance, smile and clap along.

Julejazz is once again one of the most important meeting places for all of us music lovers in the cultural metropolis of Trondheim.

Julejazz (Christmas jazz) on 28 December has become an annual tradition, and a popular meeting place for all the city's music lovers.

Trondheim's unique jazz scene fills the Scandic Nidelven Hotel with good music and a great atmosphere, and keeps it going non-stop from 18.00 until well past midnight. The event has grown into the country's largest indoor concert event under the same roof. In 2022, close to 80 musicians performed on three different stages with around 20 concerts.

Among other things, you will hear Mambo Compañeros, Trøndelag Big Band, Anna Berentina Røe Band, Førdenasane and much more!

Jazzfest and Olavshallen invited for the second year in a row to a big musical family day with concerts, workshops, disco, film, treasure hunt, drawing, dancing, face painting, competitions and much more.

Around 1,500 children and adults came through the doors of Olavshallen that day, and had a great time with the various activities that took place throughout the building.

See photos here!

On Sunday 15th of October, every corner of Olavshallen will be filled with concerts, workshops, disco, dance and music from several parts of the world and fun activities for children.

The program starts at 12:00 –and everything is FREE.
Save the date and stay tuned for detailed program!

In collaboration with Idrettsrådet i Trondheim and Trondheim Kommune there will be a stand where you can borrow a translator. There will be guides available who translates to Ukrainian, Somalian, Arabic, Dari, Urdu, Pashto and English.

Siril Malmedal Hauge - Rhiza Song

We are very happy that former NTNU Ambassador Siril Malmedal Hauge is writing new music for Jazzfest 2024 with support from the Norwegian Composers Foundation.

This is what Siril herself says about the Rhiza Song project:

"As in a web of roots, messages are sent in a network of communication - a kind of secret language. In this work I feel like digging in the soil and getting my fingers a little dirty. Making life, fishing for fine fibers, intertwining threads, digging in roots, and looking for fertile ground for musical biotopes. I am fascinated by unique bonds between different organisms, and the belonging to each other in a world that is constantly changing."
