Last year, the Jazz it Up! show, which was hugely popular and filled the stands at the Elämys Stage, will be part of the free program at Pori Promenade Hall on Monday, July 15th, and Tuesday, July 16th.
The Jazz it Up! show is a festival within a festival. This multidisciplinary rhythmic work, combining dance, live music, and video art, features 16 dancers from POSTPOSTRENEFEST, a ten-piece band from the Palmgren Conservatory, and vocalist Viia Koivula.
Jazz it Up! is a premiere created for the Pori Jazz Festival and is inspired by its history and festival atmosphere. The stage will showcase a large group of talented young artists, 40 minutes of dance, and nine new future classic pieces.
The event is free of charge and seats are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors to the hall open at 6:30 PM.
