One of the most anticipated programs on the calendar, the Zagreb Jazz Festival returns for its 15th run this autumn. The lineup is every bit as brilliant as longtime attendees have come to demand, with a thrilling selection of international jazz stars ready to take the stage and wow the masses. Lizz Wright and the Roberto Fonseca Quartet got the ball rolling with thrilling concerts in the spring, setting a high bar for the ensembles heading here between September and December. Can they meet those standards? You better believe it.
Elsewhere, Anat Cohen Quartet (October 26) will thrill the crowds at Histrionski dom, while the Keyon Harrold Quintet will take to the stage at Mala Dvorana Lisinski on November 23. The sparkling cherry on top of the festival will be the Emmet Cohen Trio (December 18), as the Miami-born magician brings his spectacular take on jazz and artistic audio to Kino SC. Be sure to get your tickets ahead of time for these fabulous shows, because sell-outs are inevitable.

Get yourself to Čakovec on November 21, 22 and 23, where the 30th Jazz Fair will show the breadth and range of jazz here.The diversity of musical genres has always permeated the streets and homes of the city of Čakovec and the areas of Međimurje County. Music connects us and is certainly one of the main points of any event, whether public or private. We are proud witnesses of how the Međimurje popevka (a regional song) was included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural assets of humanity. Various guest appearances by popular musicians and their great response prove that Čakovec lives music and composes those special notes through its soul. This year, Čakovec celebrates 30 years of hosting the Jazz Fair.
