Outdoor event

New Orleans Sunday

The festival is inaugurated by a grand outdoor event – New Orleans Sunday. It is a great celebration of traditional jazz, where a joyful and spontaneous audience gathers to the lively sounds straight from New Orleans.

From noon, jazz performed by traditional jazz bands resounds in the gardens of clubs and cafes on the Main Market Square. At 5:00 p.m., the dancing New Orleans Parade sets off from the Town Hall and heads towards Szczepański Square. The parade was attended by musicians, dancers and several thousand traditional jazz fans. The event ends with a concert on the stage at Szczepański Square.

CLUB CONCERTS

Selection of club concerts

This is where it all began… 28 years ago, Piwnica pod Baranami was filled with jazz for good in July. A dozen or so years later, the Harris Piano Jazz Bar also joined the regular program of the festival.

From 2022, the festival clubs with regular concerts have also been joined by the Globus Music Club in Podgórze.

Concert series

Solo Piano Week

Solo Piano Week is the time to participate in solo piano concerts!

Created in 2012, the Solo Piano Weekend series has been expanded into a week-long Solo Piano Week series. The events take place at the Krakow Philharmonic in the Golden Hall. Vladislav “Adzik” Sendecki, Dominik Wania, Adam Makowicz, Bobo Stenson, Piotr Wyleżoł, and Alan Broadbent have already played m.in their recitals as part of the series.

Concert series

Krakow Spiritual Music Days

A new series of concerts at the end of the festival! 30.08 – 02.09.2023

At the beginning of the cycle, musical catharsis will be guaranteed by the ecstatic sounds of Jan Garbarek’s saxophone.

The next day, Grażyna Auguścik and Jarek Bester will put us in a mood of reflection, who will present their own interpretations of Oskar Kolberg’s folk melodies and Marian songs in the mystical interior of the Gothic church.

On 1 September, on the 84th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, together with Markus Stockhausen, Olga Pasiecznik, Dominik Wania, Leszek Możdżer and the Krakow Philharmonic Choir, the project “The Bell for Peace” will resound.

The last day of the series will be dedicated to Jarek Śmietana, who died 10 years ago, a great guitarist and an unquestionable musical authority in the world of Polish jazz. Friends and long-time members of Jarek’s bands will play on Radio Kraków.
