Partner Region
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (2027)
In 2027 jazzahead! trade fair and festival will have the three Baltic states as partner region.
jazzahead! is looking forward to the Partner Region Baltic States in 2027
Every year in April, the jazzahead! Festival takes place in parallel to the jazzahead! trade fair in Bremen. Together with numerous cooperation partners, we organize a city-wide music program around the world’s largest meeting place for the jazz scene. In addition to the showcase festival, the programem includes the opening, the CLUBNIGHT and a fringe programme.
In 2027, the focus will be on countries that are closely intertwined geographically, historically and culturally: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Baltics aim to present themselves as a “unified export force in jazz” – whilst emphasising their unique characteristics. From April 22 to April 24 we can observe the jazz szene of this strong music region. The Baltic States were selected as partner countries in order to promote artistic exchange between this very interesting region and Germany in connection with the important topic of green touring.
Partner Region at the Trade Fair
The partner region and its jazz scene will be presented at the fair, for example during the following opportunities.
Stand and Lounge
The combined space of the partner region stands with the lounge which is adjacent to it are the most central presentation areas at the trade fair.
Showcases
At jazzahead! there will also be 39 showcase concerts, from which 9 are dedicated to the three partner countries.
Conferences
Industry- and country-specific topics can be presented and discussed here. In the past, the programme ranged from book presentations, panels and talks to target-group-specific workshops.
Opening
For the Opening of jazzahead! trade fair, national and international guests are expected. On stage, official representatives of the partner region (e.g. ambassadors, ministers, state secretaries) will open the trade fair and festival together with the jazzahead! and representatives of Bremen.
Partner Region at the Festival
The partner region Baltic States is the focus of jazzahead! 2027, whether in the Opening, in the context of the showcases in hall 7 and the adjacent Kulturzentrum Schlachthof, or in the CLUBNIGHT in Bremen’s city center.
Selection
Since 2011 jazzahead! presents an annually changing partner region in the scope of the fair, but also within a city-wide cultural program aimed at the public in Bremen & region. The partner region is chosen and invited by jazzahead! The highest criterion is an exciting, in part still undiscovered jazz scene, which deserves greater international recognition.
jazzahead! selects its partner regions, applications are not possible. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to project manager Sybille Kornitschky.
