Moldejazz is proud to present John Legend as the headliner at the Romsdal Museum on Thursday, July 16. With this, the festival welcomes one of the most award-winning, influential, and versatile artists of our time

Moldejazz presents free daytime concerts in Alexandraparken throughout the festival week.The stage is an important platform for young, local, and regional musicians and bands. Each concert lasts approximately 30 minutes. The performances are unpaid, but the festival provides a travel stipend.

Musikkuttrykket hennes spenner fra det intime og lavmælte til det storslåtte og eksplosive – alltid båret av en stemme som er både skjør og kraftfull. Hun kombinerer rå ærlighet med melodisk styrke og skaper konserter som både beveger og løfter. SKAAR spiller før John Legend torsdag 16. juli

Moldejazz now unveils three critically acclaimed artists for this year’s festival programme: the groundbreaking harp innovator Brandee Younger, the internationally acclaimed Nduduzo Makhathini Trio, and Molde native Daniel Herskedal, who will bring the festival to a close with an intimate solo concert. The three artists represent distinct musical expressions and backgrounds, yet are united by improvisation, artistic curiosity, and jazz’s unique ability to reflect the contemporary world. Artistic Director Magnus Lunay says that the artists embody three different musical voices with diverse cultural backgrounds, brought together through improvisation and the festival’s long-standing history as an international jazz arena with its gaze firmly set on the future.
