Jude talked about the struggles of downsizing an 8 week festival to a ONE week LIVE STREAMED version
The pandemic really hit this event hard, what with everything being canceled and/or shifting to the digital realm for the most part. With that being said, the result was still a pretty creative pivot, and all the shows were streamed Live at the highest quality of sound and video.
However, Jude has high hopes for going back to the nature of the event taking place in a massive outdoor setting. Online streaming worked for the constraints of 2020, but the Jazz Fest will carry its true essence for future events!
What’s next for Bahrain Jazz Fest?
The Jazz Fest is turning 5 in 2021 and something BIG is in the works! 2020 took an unfortunate, unprecedented turn, but we’re hopeful for 2021 and we’re ready to celebrate!
