Bucharest Jazz Festival Returns in September

Bucharest Jazz Festival returns between September 16 and 18, 2022, with a new edition of concerts and live sessions.

Bucharest Jazz Festival 2022 takes place at The Combinatul Fondului Plastic, a space dedicated to events in the arts and design area. The ninth edition is organized by the Capital City Hall, through the Culture, Education, Tourism Directorate of The Municipality of Bucharest and ARCUB, with the support of The Institute, the Union of Plastic Artists from Romania and the Plastic Fund Combine.

This year’s edition comes with a concept focused on Romanian jazz and is curated by musicologist and journalist Florian Lungu, an essential name of the local jazz scene who documented, experienced and witnessed many events that wrote the history of jazz autochthonous.

After a two-year break, we don’t want to take the pulse of jazz music away from us in the country. Who is
the artist of the new wave, what recent collaborations have appeared among the Romanian jazz virtuosos and how does the music of diaspora jazzmen sound? These are questions we were trying to answer in the edition of
This year. Bucharest Jazz Festival #9 means three days of good music in a new location for fans of the festival, at Combinatul Fondului Plastic where, lately, so many important things have been happening.

Mihaela Paun, director ARCUB

The festival program is divided into three thematic evenings. The festival’s first day is dedicated to artists from the new generation of jazzmen and groups four concerts under the theme “Young Blood Jazz Musicians.” The “Jazz Diaspora” evening presents concerts by Romanian jazz artists abroad. The festival’s last day is entitled “Jazz Virtuoso” and brings names from Combinat to the stage consecrated to the local jazz. The edition’s lineup includes ZMEI3, Sorin Zlat, Ion Tuntu Baciu Jr., Trigon, Eva Maria Garlea & Robert Cozma and the collaboration between Luiza Zan and the Radio Big Band directed by Ionel Tudor.

The entry is free for every jazz lover, so if you have some free time to spare on quality music you should definitely participate to enjoy one of Romania’s most anticipated jazz music festivals.
