Jazz en Tech: Contemporary Jazz at the Heart of Vallespir
Since 2016, Jazz en Tech has been making the Pyrénées-Orientales swing with a traveling festival that combines contemporary jazz and exceptional heritage. The festival unfolds between two emblematic sites: the Romanesque cloister of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines and the lively streets of Céret, the "Mecca of Cubism".
A Two-Part Festival
The first part of the festival takes place in the cloister of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines, offering concerts in a remarkable architectural setting. The second part takes over the streets of Céret with free open-air concerts at 11 am and 6 pm, creating a festive and friendly atmosphere in the town's alleyways.
An Excellent Program
Jazz en Tech features internationally renowned artists alongside emerging talents. Among the artists who have marked the festival: Stefano di Battista, Jacky Terrasson, Camille Bertault, Charlotte Planchou (winner of the Victoires du Jazz 2024). The festival explores all facets of contemporary jazz, from swing to boogie-woogie to jazz fusion.
