Barcelona Springtime Swing ’22 is the second edition of an initiative that was presented for the first time in 2019 and has been halted for two years due to the pandemic. The objective set by the entities that support this project is to give our audience the opportunity to know and enjoy the music of international figures of the current jazz scene – within the wide range of what is understood as classical jazz – who do not normally visit our stages.
We believe that long-time jazz fans and those who feel an incipient curiosity about this genre, will appreciate this initiative that will put them in contact with high class performers, whose music, without lowering their level of demand, is within the reach of all audiences.
This is the intention of the organizers of this cycle of three concerts that we sincerely hope will be well received by our audience.
