XXII international festival of modern improvisational music Jazz Bez will be held in Lviv. The focus of the festival is the topic of cultural relocation. Well-known performers from Poland, Argentina, Belgium and Ukraine, as well as future musicians, will be on stage. The program includes events for different age categories.<\/p>\n
The international festival of modern improvisational music Jazz Bez, which takes place simultaneously in Poland and Ukraine, is a landmark event for Lviv. The festival was founded in 2001 by the “Dzyga” art association. Since its inception, the festival has taken place every year, even during revolutions in Ukraine or a pandemic. This year – the year of the war – was no exception.<\/p>\n
This year, the festival will take place on December 2-6, but there is a wide pre- and accompanying event program starting at the end of November – with a training-lecture “Being bold, especially on stage” and an open rehearsal of students of the Lviv Academy of Music who are preparing to perform within XXII Jazz Bez. And then there are lectures and music workshops at America House Lviv, ethno-jazz with Usein Bekirov at the Dzyga art gallery, an evening of current Polish improvisational music with Jazz Forum Talents, a solo program by the Belgian pianist Ivan Paduart, battle trumpet players with a guest from Argentina, Sebasti\u00e1n Greschuk, an open-air “Jazz Relocation” concert in Markiyan Ivashyshin’s chapel.<\/p>\n
The main theme of this year’s festival is relocation in Ukrainian culture. That is why there will be more educational projects and a special concert “Jazz Relocation”. Also for the first time \u2013 Jazz Bez Kids: this is a special program for the youngest, prepared together with Iryna Vakulina, conductor, manager of artistic projects, co-founder of the TEMPO Music Development Center. Another component of this year’s program is Jazz Bez Junior – a separate performance with students of the Jazz Department of the Academy of Music named after M. Lysenko.<\/p>\n
“For more than two decades of existence, Jazz Bez has never stopped – it was a stage for international support and the voice of new music of the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity, a place of important meetings and the birth of new ideas in 2000, 2010, 2020… We are convinced that the power of culture, the great power of art, is overwhelming even in difficult times of war. Despite the difficulties, for the sake of victory – we unite and create, because we believe in our beautiful future”, – emphasizes art director, host of the festival Marta Bilska.<\/p>\n
\u0425\u0425\u0406\u0406 Jazz Bez is embodied by the Institute of Cultural Strategy and the public association “Virmenska 35” with the support of America House in Lviv, the Polish Institute in Kyiv and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Lviv. More details and news coming soon on the Jazz Bez Facebook page.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, traditionally – despite the war and in spite of the war – the music of the free will be heard in other cities of Ukraine (Rivne, Drohobych, Uman), as well as in Poland (Peremyshl). Some other cities in both countries are considering hosting concerts.<\/p>\n
