The 53 Heineken Jazzaldia will continue its successful collaboration of recent years with Musikene (Higher School of Music of the Basque Country) and the San Telmo Museum, resulting in excellent concerts turning the spotlight on local musicians, who on occasions share their projects with first-rate European and American musicians.
Also participating in this collaboration, like in previous years, is the Fundación SGAE, the General Society of Authors and Publishers, sponsor of the season.
The Heineken Jazzaldia offers Musikene the opportunity to programme projects put together by its professors and chosen by mutual agreement. Based on the same system, this year four projects of an extraordinary standard have been selected, both for the quality of their performers and for the objective interest of their proposals.
As an added feature, Patri Goialde, professor at Musikene, will give a talk before each concert on some of the greatest jazz artists of all time, a popular initiative last year. This time round, the talks, which will be in Spanish, will turn their attention to Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus.
The venue has a limited capacity of 200 people. The doors will open at 11:20 and those coming along to hear the talk, which will start at 11:30, can also stay for the concert, which will begin at around 12:20.
