The festival Que Jazz é Este? this year marks its eighth edition, this time on five non-consecutive days, always on Wednesday: July 22, August 12 and 26, September 9 and 30.
In response to the pandemic times that we are going through, the festival thus sees its programming redesigned for the effectiveness of complying with safety standards, while maintaining the main matrix and main pillars of the festival.
Stage concerts, professional music training, as well as raising awareness of new audiences are the ingredients that ensure connection to the community and the public in times of life and suspended routines in which it is necessary to insist on continuity and to remain active and creatives.
Each of the five days of the festival will have a similarly structured program.
All activities are subject to reservation. Concerts are free and workshops have a symbolic cost of € 2.
What Jazz Is This Festival? it is organized by the Gira Sol Azul association and financed by the Viseu Cultura program of the Municipality of Viseu.
