About CremonaJazz

Every spring, CremonaJazz brings some of the most important voices and instrumentalists of international jazz to the stage of the Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium at the Violin Museum. A refined review, with concerts held between April and June, alternating established stars and emerging talents in one of the most prestigious halls in the city of Stradivari. From Grammy winners to protagonists of the world scene, CremonaJazz is an unmissable event for lovers of the genre, enriched by meetings and collateral activities such as AperiJazz in the heart of Cremona.

Jazz in the city of the violin

CremonaJazz is the festival that, every spring, brings great international jazz to Cremona, in Lombardy. The concerts are held in the Giovanni Arvedi Auditorium, the concert hall of the Museo del Violino (Violin Museum), famous for its acoustics and its deep connection with the city's violin-making tradition. Promoted by Unomedia and the Museo del Violino, the event offers a program that blends established names and emerging personalities, with a constant focus on artistic quality.

A showcase of stars

Artists who have performed in the temples of world jazz take turns on the Arvedi stage: Grammy winners, internationally renowned singers, and leading instrumentalists. The concerts, held between April and June, offer a journey through the different facets of jazz – from vocal jazz to contemporary experimentation, from world premieres to special projects – always in an intimate and prestigious setting.

More than just concerts

CremonaJazz also features a program of collateral activities, developed in collaboration with the "Nino Donzelli" Jazz Music Study Center of Cremona and the Café of the Museo del Violino. Among these are AperiJazz, informal gatherings that bring audiences closer to the festival's protagonists. It's a way to experience jazz not just as listening, but as a shared cultural experience.

An event for the city

For the Municipality of Cremona and the Province, CremonaJazz represents one of the most qualified musical events of the season, capable of attracting an enthusiastic audience to the city and enhancing the Auditorium Arvedi as a stage of international importance.
