When? 18 July-4 August 2024
This small-town jazz festival draws local and international jazz musicians to southwestern France for two weeks of bucolic escapism. Renowned for being relaxed and welcoming, expect workshops, masterclasses and exhibitions alongside starry performances. Performing for the first time at Marciac this year are Pink Martini and four Grammy award-winning young Jacob Collier with Take 6 in the Big Top. As ever there will be a highly impressive female line up with Africa’s premier diva, the mesmerising singer, songwriter, activist Angelique Kidjo whose performances in her native Benin, Yorubá are electrifying, South Korean trailblazing vocalist Youn Sun Nah, and Japanese composer-pianist Hiromi.
