About

Journey to Jazz is an annual Karoo festival drawing inspiration from the history, art and natural environment of the Prince Albert desert. This intimate and bespoke experience offers a week of music, masterclasses, food and nature all at the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A full programme of local and international artists perform throughout the town in restaurants, on farms and in churches. The locals of Prince Albert curate a community events programme which sees visitors camping under the stars, doing yoga at sunrise and walking the Wolvekraal Conservancy.

Journey to Jazz is a showcase event of the Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT). It is a culmination of the Leadership Development work that takes place throughout the year with youth who are affiliated with the PACT community centre in Prince Albert. Journey to Jazz is conceptualized and driven by PACT and a crew of more than 80 young people of the region. Through ongoing training in hospitality, event management, media and life skills, local youth welcome visitors from around the country and globe to experience a true Karoo fees!

SWARTBERG MUSIC SALON
"Had the privilege of attending the gala and Sunday event. The inclusion of the Oudtshoorn choir was magical. Both were top drawer experiences. Loved the intimacy of the Take Four Quartet performance, with the really informative introduction to each programme music piece. "

Prince Albert Journey to Jazz Festival
"This was a tremendous experience. It's a short sentence but holds a great deal of affirmation on every level. The Quicket team were fantastic. A few thoughts....Perhaps a little bit pricy when one considers accommodation, travel etc. There might be incentives, collaborations with hosts. It would be nice to choose whether you eat or not. Please keep the festival contained. The peace and beauty of the enviroment needs to remain a major player. The MC's did very well. As an actor, I would love to ground their skills. Not interfere with their qualities, but ground confidence. Ultimately, to submerge oneself in music is the big winner. Each offering, an invitation to be transported into a new place in oneself. Bravo to all."

"We were thoroughly impressed. The performance was a perfect blend of laughter and emotion. It was very clever of her to use personal experiences as illustrations of our country over the last 30 years and to remain humerous while doing so. We were especially touched by her choice of song to begin with - a Leonard Cohen song, as longtime fans of his. The stage costumes and setup are absolutely fantastic. Hoping that the show comes to Cape Town — we would love to experience it again! "
