FESTIVAL DE JAZZ DE SARAJEVO

Founded in 1997 and now supported by the French channel Mezzo, this festival (Jazz Fest Sarajevo) is one of the great international meetings of jazz and improvised music. All the big names of today have played there, from Avishai Cohen to Ibrahim Maalouf, from Bugge Wesseltoft to Dhafer Joussef. In one week, about 60 artists give 300 concerts, mainly in the National Theater, or next door in the Youth Theater (Pozorište Mladih).
