THE MINDSET STAGE @ BRECON JAZZ FESTIVAL 2024
We’re kicking off the Brecon Jazz Festival main weekend with an electrifying celebration of the ‘Jazz Mindset’ on our Mindset Stage! Prepare to have your senses ignited and your mind expanded as the Mindset Stage at Brecon Jazz Festival 2024 transforms the hallowed halls of Brecon Cathedral into a sonic and visual playground, with artists such as snooker-turned-DJ legend Steve Davis and Gaz Williams, plus new-school jazz and folk star Rosie Frater-Taylor.
This is an immersive experience where sound and sight collide, weaving a tapestry of the unexpected. A kaleidoscope of genres will converge, from the pulsating rhythms of electronic beats to the soulful melodies of jazz improvisation, all while captivating visuals dance across the cathedral’s ancient walls. Let the music move your body and the visuals ignite your imagination as you journey through a soundscape unlike any you’ve encountered before.

A stage that compliments the more traditional Jazz gigs that take place throughout Brecon during the annual festival. Get ready for a lineup of artists, creators, and performers who push boundaries, redefine the rules, and embody the spirit of improvisation – knowing when to listen, when to lead, and how to create magic in the moment.
