XIV JAZZ FESTIVAL BANSKO
2011 6–13 August
The International Jazz Festival in Bansko is the biggest summer musical event in Bulgaria. The enormous popularity which the festival enjoys among specialists and fans across the world has turned it into one of the foremost international cultural happenings in the Balkans.
The quaint old town becomes a meeting place for emblematic figures of today’s music world. The concerts are free for the public and the festival is organised with the aid of sponsors.
Traditionally, the programme features styles and groups representing almost all jazz trends. The evening concerts draw huge crowds to the open-air stage on Nikola Vaptsarov Square in downtown Bansko. Throughout the festival week jazz is also played during the day on various smaller stages in the large resort complexes and restaurants.
Ever since its foundation in 1998, Bansko Jazz Fest is held every year from August 8 to 13.
We are about to enjoy the performances of great jazz and pop musicians featured in the programme of the 14th International Jazz Festival in Bansko. Music legends such as Jackie Ryan, Larry Vuckovich, Mungo Jerry and other, greatly talented and popular participants in the festival, such as Jive Aces, Yoni Vidal, Rick Margitza and Oleg Kireev, are a guarantee of the true world jazz forum we all want Bansko to become.
