Jazzèbre

Jazzèbre: Nomadic musical adventures in Catalan country

Since 1989, Jazzèbre has animated the cultural season in Perpignan with the sound of jazz and world music. This nomadic festival takes place for nearly three weeks between September and October in multiple venues in Perpignan, the Pyrénées-Orientales, and the Aude, promoting an open and generous vision of music.

A program between jazz and world music

The Jazzèbre program explores the most diverse musical territories: contemporary jazz, improvised music, world music, flamenco, African music, Mediterranean creations, and traditional Catalan music. The festival brings together established artists and young talents, local musicians and international artists, in a spirit of meeting and discovery.

Jazz Tuesdays

Throughout the year, Jazzèbre extends the festival's spirit with Jazz Tuesdays, regular concert evenings at the Casa Musicale in Perpignan, allowing the public to discover artists in an intimate and friendly setting.

Multiple venues for nomadic music

True to its subtitle of 'nomadic musical adventures', Jazzèbre takes over a wide variety of venues:

• La Casa Musicale: emblematic venue of the festival in Perpignan
• Le Théâtre de l'Archipel: national stage of Perpignan
• Churches, chapels, and castles in the department
• Cooperative wineries and vineyards
• Outdoor stages in the villages of the Pyrénées-Orientales and Aude

The STRASS association: a permanent commitment

Organized by the STRASS association, based at Maison Jazzèbre at 18 rue Rempart Villeneuve in Perpignan, the festival is part of a permanent cultural action in the region. The association offers concerts, workshops, artist residencies, and cultural mediation activities throughout the year.

A cross-border festival

Located in the heart of Catalan country, Jazzèbre naturally cultivates ties with Spanish Catalonia, regularly inviting artists from Barcelona, Girona, and the entire Iberian Peninsula, and participating in cross-border cultural projects.
