Welcome to an exhilarating time with young musicians! The performers from Barnas Jazzhus have performed at festivals in Kongsberg, Germany and Japan, but they are also regulars here at Victoria, recently filled the venue in autumn with their popular concert series Barnas Jazzscene. And now the young musicians are back! The performers, all the way down to eight years old, play complex, improvised music at a high level - this is simply the next generation of jazz musicians.

The young musicians are all affiliated with Improvbasen, a centre for the development of young jazz talent. Students come from all over eastern Norway, but Improvbasen also connects with young talent from other parts of the country. Barnas Jazzhus is Improbasen’s own jazz club and was named Norwegian Jazz club of the year in 2013.
