Moldejazz has appointed former festival director Hans-Olav Solli as head of the festival's program committee, with responsibility for completing this year's program. Producer Cecilie Nogva becomes acting Festival Director.

These organizational adjustments will apply in Festival Director Mariann Bjørnelv's sick leave.

Artist in Residence John Zorn takes with him, among other things, the beautiful Nove Cantici with Bill Frisell, in addition to 7 other concerts in his residency. And once Frisell is in town, he also plays with Charles Lloyd. Jazz's big new voice, Cécile McLorin Salvant brings her band to us. Then there are Ane Brun, Metteson, Bernhoft and the British jazz star shot Emma-Jean Thackray.

We also post discounted Zorn packages, museum packages and introduce student prizes at several concerts.

The ticket packages replace the previous "passes" and give a 25% discount on the tickets in the package.

In 2022, the big outdoor concerts at Romsdalsmuseet will return during Moldejazz.

The first of three artists playing on Wednesday, July 20, is announced today:

Sigrid is performing at Moldejazz, and we can guarantee that she “won´t kill your vibe”!

Moldejazz is launching a new, exclusive VIP Lounge at Romsdalsmuseet. With its own bar you can enjoy the concerts with excellent food and drinks, sitting or standing in a separated area and with a great view of the stage.
