L'Hora del Jazz Festival / Bindu Trio Home
Bindu TrioThe Associació de Músics de Jazz i Música Moderna de Catalunya founded its L'Hora de Jazz Festival two decades ago. Its intention was to create a varied programme of Catalan music, both classic and contemporary, showcasing to the public both veterans and newcomers. In its 20th year, the festival is staying true to its original goals, with 17 performances planned throughout September.
The caliber of programming remains at the cutting edge and for the first time in the festival's history, Vilafranca del Penedés will be hosting a nighttime performance. Held at the Casino, unconventional jazz quartet Land Space will be putting on a show of contemporary aesthetic and classic musicianship.
Performances will take place during the day on Sundays, and on a variety of nights in various venues. Nearly all of the 17 shows--all of the day concerts and some of the night concerts--are free. The four events that charge range from €4 to €10 and are all held in nightclubs throughout Barcelona. All Barcelona day performances will be held at the Plaça Vila de Gràcia, and the two in Vilafranca at Plaça Sant Joan.
