Bergamo Jazz Festival 2026: the jazz festival in Bergamo, Italy
Bergamo Jazz Festival takes place at Teatro Donizetti, a historic theater in the center of Bergamo in Lombardy. This 2026 edition, scheduled for March 21, brings together 3 artists for an evening of contemporary jazz. The sumptuous Italian-style theater setting and exceptional acoustics provide an ideal venue for intimate and demanding jazz performances.
The lineup favors American artists from the contemporary jazz scene, with The Bad Plus, Chris Potter and Craig Taborn. The festival explores the territories of post-bop and experimental jazz in a cutting-edge lineup.
Bergamo Jazz cultivates an elitist and demanding identity, attracting a knowledgeable audience of connoisseurs and musicians. The one-evening format and theatrical setting transform the concert into an immersive experience, far from mainstream jazz festivals, in the tradition of New York clubs and prestigious European venues.
On March 21, 2026, Teatro Donizetti celebrates contemporary jazz. Check the lineup and book your tickets.
