Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival

Jazz music in all its diversity

All roads lead to jazz!

A major international festival on the musical and tourism calendar of the Principality, the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival celebrates its 18th edition this year. For this eighteenth edition, the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival offers a various program over 10 dates, taking place from November 20 to December 1, 2024. This festival draws tourists and families to experience unique world-class concerts in the heart of Monaco.

 

Set in the fabulous setting of the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo, is a must for jazz lovers. Each year, this festival celebrates the very essence of jazz, bringing together world-renowned artists who transform the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo, into an enchanting showcase of notes. This 2024 edition travels down the most inspiring jazz paths, from traditional to contemporary influences, where big band riffs meet vibrant vocal phrasing.    

 

We wanted to inaugurate this festival with the talents of the Académie Rainier III. The following day, a legendary evening will open with the Count Basie Orchestra, the big band behind the Kansas City style, and the Dal Sasso Big Band, in a tribute to Chick Corea. This multi-layered program will also feature long-time friends such as the iconic Dee Dee Bridgewater and saxophonist Stefano di Battista, both monuments to the same date. Dreaming of the origins of jazz, which has been enriched by so many different styles, we'll embark with Ayo and Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade for a sensual voyage and suspended moments.

 

The richness of these musical territories is also illustrated in the pop-funk of British band, Level 42, and the youthful energy of Emile Londonien, a trio fed on jazz made in London. The festival really gets going with the Cuban rhythms of Cimafunk, which fuse with Seun Kuti's Afrobeat during a world music night that promises unforgettable moments of entertainment. As for vibrations and emotions, the festival culminates with the instrumental meeting between M & Thibault Cauvin, and the strings of harpist and singer, Sophye Soliveau. Two charismatic voices will also be performing: Stella Cole, a Tik Tok revelation, and the crooner Mario Biondi.

 

These live concerts can be experienced at Salle Garnier Monte-Carlo, together with before and after events in the Café de la Rotonde of Casino de Monte-Carlo, which has been specially fitted out for the occasion, and two brilliant moments of cinema focused on jazz with the screening of the film, Ascenseur pour L’échafaud (Lift to the Scaffold), with the complicity of the Monaco Audiovisual Institute, followed by the Whiplash film-concert.

 

To attend this festival is to plunge into an intimate and magical atmosphere, thanks to exceptional shows in a unique setting. For a memorable experience in the Principality, discover our exclusive guide and explore our sumptuous hotels in Monaco.
