“Colors of Jazz” gives a meeting of colorful native jazz artists, loved and eagerly awaited by the public.
At one of the most magical places in Stara Zagora – Augusta Traiana Ancient Forum Complex, in the month of June a stage will be built again, giving space to both familiar and rising stars to turn the city of linden trees into a five-day jazz oasis.
The program is colorful, just like the name of the festival, and emphasizes the participation of Bulgarian performers, and during the last two days the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a performance from Stara Zagora, on the special Youth Jazz Stage, with the participation of NUMSI “Hristina Morfova” and Vocal “Trayana Glas” studios.
The festival days will shine with the names Beloslava, Maggi Dzhanavarova, Antoni Donchev, Dani Belcheva, jazz formation “SoulBmoll” and of course – Big Band – Stara Zagora with conductor Viktor Krumov, who is also the director of the festival.
