    The Jazz Festival Ljubljana places special focus on young artists, not only featuring various performances by young musicians programmed in cooperation with the .abeceda Institute over the past five years, but also giving prominence to students of the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory (KGBL) this year. The Conservatory is the only school in our country that provides formal education in jazz and band music. While teaching the rudiments of music theory, the curriculum promotes the creativity and innovation of an individual musician, as well as the technical mastery of an instrument or voice and ensemble performance.
    The KGBL Big Band and smaller jazz bands will present a programme devised especially for our festival.

     

    Due to the cancellation of his European tour Ben LaMar Gay will not perform at the 64th Ljubljana Jazz Festival.

    Artistic Directors (SI): Bogdan Benigar, Borja Močnik, Andrej Dré Hočevar*
