DølaJazz

DølaJazz is a jazz festival held in Lillehammer, Norway, bringing together several generations of musicians across big bands and smaller ensembles, with pop and folk (viser) influences woven in. Beyond its concerts, the festival is rooted in local life, with programs for kindergartens, workplaces and senior citizens, and it nurtures young talent through its JazzIncubator initiative, now drawing applicants from across Europe. It also pairs music with the visual arts through an art trail run with local cultural institutions.
