This years festival motif 😍
Once again, our partner BERRE has delivered a world class festival motif! Two stars from this years program are the models, big thanks to Tora Dahle Aagård and Daniel Herskedal for saying yes ♥️ We can't wait to see them during Jazzfest in May!
For the last six years, our posters have had an unique visual expression, developed as a part of the festivals clear profile. The motives combine traditional studio pictures of the artists with a creative afterwork, where the photos are being evolved with a characteristic red, paint-like impression.
Festival director Ernst Wiggo and Bjørn are very excited about the collaboration!
Bjørn Klakegg will compose new music for Jazzfest 2026!
In the mist of planning this years Jazzfest, we seem to have forgotten to announce some very happy news. "The silent winner" Bjørn Klakegg has received a grant from Kulturrådet to sit down in his "composers cave" to compose new music. The commission has the working title "Needlepoint further...", which gives us a solid clue on who we can expect to see on stage during the premiere at Jazzfest in May 2026.

PHØNIX IS THIS YEAR'S NTNU AMBASSADOR!
- This year's NTNU Ambassador title goes to a trio that plays fierce, energetic and rocked jazz in a refreshing, unorthodox lineup. This is how the jury describes this year's award winner.
Phønix, consisting of Emil Storløkken Åse, Jenny Frøysa and August Glännestrand, received the prestigious award at the Studentersamfundet in Trondheim on 20th of February. The award was made in connection with the program release for Jazzfest and Jazzmass, a new collaboration between the Student Society and Jazzfest.
