The programme of the Jazz Festival Ljubljana, this year again unlocking the maximum potential of its 63rd edition and reintroducing the traditional June dates, presents 30 concerts featuring almost 150 performers. We have retained the concept of recent years, when the festival came to life in the new setting provided by the Council of Europe Park (located outside CD) and its two stages.

Building a music community through intergenerational integration and connecting jazz and other musical practices based on contemporary creativity is an approach that is resonating throughout the national and international music communities, among jazz lovers and professionals alike. As befits a music festival, we have introduced several new features. To strengthen the link between local and foreign musicians even further as many as six Slovenian musicians will join the Fire! Orchestra. With this end in mind, we have enhanced the programme organised together with the .abeceda Institute and presented on the Old Tree Stage. In keeping with our decision to also provide a platform for our youngest artists, we are showcasing the Music and Ballet Conservatory Ljubljana students (KGBL) on Saturday morning. An exclusive event marking a new album release, the Slovenian Armed Forces Big Band will perform under the baton of Izidor Leitinger in Gallus Hall. This venue will host two more major events: the festival opening concert dedicated to jazz diva Alice Coltrane with an international line-up led by drumming wizard Hamid Drake and a concert by oud player Anouar Brahem, a major ECM Records artist and a master of his instrument.
