24th Jazzfest am Dom Trier

Jazz-Club Trier e.V. is one of the oldest jazz clubs in Rhineland-Palatinate and has shaped Trier's jazz scene for decades. With the Jazzfest am Dom, the club has established an annual open-air format that marks the transition from the spring to the summer jazz season during the Whitsun period. The Domfreihof as a venue combines the acoustics of a city square with the monumental backdrop of the World Heritage ensemble.

Programmatically, the festival focuses on more accessible styles of jazz – Oldtime and Swing, Dixieland, Big Band repertoire, Vocal Jazz, and Choir arrangements. This programming appeals to a broad audience beyond the narrow jazz scene and allows free admission to essential parts of the program, made possible by sponsorship from the City of Trier and private patrons.

Whit Monday has been designed as the "Day of Brass Music" for years and opens the stage for brass bands, music associations, and Big Bands from the region – a bridge between the jazz scene and Trier's music association life.
