In one of the most magical places in Stara Zagora – Augusta Traiana Ancient Forum Complex, in the month of June 2024 a stage will be built once again, giving space to both familiar and rising stars to turn the city of lime trees into a five-day jazz marathon. The program is colorful, just like the name of the festival, and emphasizes the participation of Bulgarian performers.
During the last two days of the festival, the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy a performance from Stara Zagora, on the special youth jazz stage, with the participation of the National School of Music and Performing Arts “Hristina Morfova” and Vocal Studio “Trayana Glas”.
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.
