Novara Jazz is a renowned cultural event that attracts nationally and internationally acclaimed artists to its stage each year. It is one of the top 10 jazz festivals in Italy and highly appreciated in Europe.
From 2006 to 2015, Staff Millennium was in charge of the technical direction for the event, including the audio-video and lighting services, as well as the setups.
Working at Novara Jazz was an immense pleasure due to the high cultural level of the event and the outstanding quality of the artists. It’s truly a great pleasure for both the soul and the ears.
Here’s a breakdown of how we contributed to this event:
For this event, we designed an amplification system suitable for the various locations where the festival’s performances were held.
We chose professional amplification systems from Meyer Sound and RCF Linea TT. We selected these brands because they are some of the best for amplifying live music at events, even outdoors. The mixers used during the editions were Yamaha and Soundcraft.
For the video aspect of the event, we managed the projectors and video direction. Specifically, we used Panasonic LED projectors, a historic company in the industry, and AnalogWay video direction systems. We chose AnalogWay technologies because they allow managing multiple peripherals at the same time—projections, LED walls, video walls, and more. The resolution remains high quality, providing sharp, lag-free images with almost real-time signal processing. Another reason for choosing AnalogWay was the ability to customize output resolutions to meet any need.
To create the right atmosphere for the performances on stage, we also set up a lighting system using LED lights and moving heads. For this service, we used high-end products from manufacturers like SGM, Coemar, ETC, Martin, and Prolight. Choosing these types of lights also helped reduce energy consumption.
Staff Millennium was also responsible for the event’s technical direction.
Every event needs careful planning and someone to oversee each phase, from the concept to execution, to the final report. Technical direction is essential for the success of an event; otherwise, it risks becoming chaotic.
The technical director coordinates the entire technical team and understands all the roles involved—lighting, video, stage, structures. They orchestrate the work and ensure synergy among the different teams, making them work as a single entity. Collaboration, rhythm, and coordination are the foundations of a staff working together to ensure the event’s success.
We coordinated all the activities, establishing a shared method, and at the end of each edition, we returned the venues in perfect condition.
Relying on industry professionals makes it possible to organize flawless events. At Staff Millennium, we have been working on events for years—both corporate and cultural—and have built a network of suppliers, equipment providers, technologies, and venues that make us highly competitive in the market.
