Bergamo Jazz Estate

Summer jazz at the Lazzaretto

Bergamo Jazz Estate is the summer event linked to the historic Bergamo Jazz, one of the most important jazz festivals in Italy. The festival brings the big names of international music to the Lazzaretto of Bergamo, the monumental 17th-century complex that transforms into a charming open-air stage in the summer.

Few concerts, great quality

The formula is that of a few selected but very high-level events, featuring some of the most recognized voices in world jazz. The concerts, usually in the evening, combine artistic quality with the intimate and suggestive atmosphere of the Lazzaretto.

Music and solidarity

Organized by the Fondazione Teatro Donizetti with the support of the Municipality of Bergamo, Bergamo Jazz Estate often intertwines the musical program with charitable initiatives, with concerts whose proceeds support local social projects.

Bergamo, city of jazz

With its long jazz tradition, Bergamo is a reference point for enthusiasts from all over Lombardy. The summer version of the festival complements the spring schedule, offering the opportunity to hear great artists in one of the most fascinating monumental settings in the city.
