The international jazz festival of Vigo “Imaxinasons” is a proposal from the city council of Vigo which comes out in order to,among the whole Galician musical panorama, leave room for the jazz made in Europe, beyond any other further requirement.

The European jazz is highly recognized nowadays as the real promoter of the greatest evolution in its contemporary history, which turns Vigo into the latest reference from all the other jazz festivals with an extremely unique musical and festive atmosphere for two weeks.

For that reason, the festival will exhibit annually the brand new present time of jazz,emphasizing specifically those good-quality suggestions that stake on innovation and originality, providing besides the freshest trendies or events throughout three geographical environments: Galicia, Spain and Europe. It will support especially the musicians who develop their work in Galicia, displaying most of their projects on the festival, helping therefore to be known abroad; It will pay attention to the present moment in all the other parts of Spain, particularly focusing on the most ultimate and newest trendies; and, finally, it will single out European jazz mostly, without abandon the idea of specific latin or American performances.
IMAXINASONS will be evolved throughout several and differerent activities, so as to approach to the higher number of people through:

• Concerts in theatres and auditoriums (Centro Cultural Caixanova, Town Hall Auditorium, Conservatory school Auditorium…).
• Life Jazz on street:open-air performances on Praza da Estrela and marching music around the main pedestrian areas of the city.
• Evening performances on different sites and pubs.
• Exhibitions, expositions, round-table, discussions, debates, conferences, master-class…
