The most jazzy event of this spring! On April 29 and 30, VINIL Concert Agency invites all connoisseurs of this musical style to Lviv Jazz Days 2023. The program includes selected jazz performed by famous Ukrainian musicians.
On April 30, all jazz lovers of the world celebrate International Jazz Day. This day unites musicians and fans of this musical style all over the world. It has been celebrated since 2011 and was initiated by UNESCO, because jazz is called not only music, but a way of life!
Lviv, as the most jazzy city of Ukraine, traditionally joins the celebration of this date. For two days, on April 29 and 30, the best jazz performers of Ukraine will present exceptional music and brilliant live performances for all connoisseurs of real jazz.
JAZZ JAM DAY will start on April 29 at 15:00 at the Lviv Professional Music College named after S. P. Lyudkevich, and at 7:00 p.m. in “Dzyza” – a big jam session with top musicians of Ukraine. Jazz events will also take place in three more Lviv locations, which will become known closer to the festival. Therefore, the organizers invite you to follow the announcements on the official pages in social networks so as not to miss the concert of your favorite jazzmen.
Sunday, April 30, will be busy. The organizers of Lviv Jazz Days 2023 tell about the program in detail:
“The Lyudkevych Symphony Orchestra will start the jazz marathon on April 30 with the famous Rhapsody in Blues style, which has been one of the most popular works at the intersection of classical and jazz for almost a hundred years. The marathon will be continued by the oldest jazz group in Lviv – Dixieland Band Medicus.
A separate part of the concert program will be the Jazz Academy project.
