The eight-day We Jazz festival presents the most versatile selection of music of the event so far in Helsinki from November 27 to December 4. Several of the performers will be heard in Finland for the first time, and numerous bands will take the stage for the first time in public. In addition, there are many new collaborations between visitors and domestic musicians and new performance venues. Tickets for the ninth We Jazz event will go on sale at Tiketti offices on September 14 at 9:00.
We Jazz is an event first established in 2013 to present a selection of the best contemporary jazz music. Both foreign and domestic artists spread around Helsinki to perform during the eight days.
The producers at We Jazz make an effort to continually discover new spaces for music and many of the venues change from year to year. The pairing of artists and venues is aimed at creating the best possible context for the music at hand. This is why many of the We Jazz venues are quite small.
We Jazz is a cross-section of the current music but also a collection of timeless jazz across the broad spectrum of styles.
