Vossajazz
Vossajazz or Vossa Jazz (established 19 December 1973) is an international jazz festival in Voss, Norway, which takes place annually during the week before Easter, and which also includes concerts throughout the year. The festival has been led by Trude Storheim since August 2007. History The first festival in 1974 was held the same weekend as the World Cup in Alpine skiing at Voss.

There is also ''Badnajazz'' for the children, ''Ekstremjazz'' (not part of Ekstremsportveko, the extreme sports week also held in Voss), ''Eldrejazz'' and ''UNGjaJAZZja!''. In additio ...
