Moldejazz is the second oldest jazzfestival in Europe, as
well as the most important one in Norway. It was founded in 1961.The festival
is arranged every year in July during week 29. We hold the prestigious status
of "Knutepunktfestival for jazz i Norge" and collaborate with other
festivals both in Norway and in other countries.
Moldejazz is a foundation with a set administration
employing 5 people on a full-time basis for the entire year. The yearly revenue
is approximately 30 million NOK. During 6 hectic days in week 29 approximately
120 concerts are held, 22.000 tickets are sold, 500 artists take the stage, 600
volunteers work for us and 60.000 people visit Molde.
Apart from the artistic we take care of multiple business
areas connected to the festival, such as merchandise shops, restaurants and
more.
Outside of the festival-week we, in cooperation with
Storyville Jazz Club, offer a year-round jazz-offering in Molde. In 2012 we
relocated our headquarters to the cultural building "Plassen" in
down-town Molde.
