JazzFestBrno was established in 2002. Since then it has transformed to arguably the most impactful jazz event in the Czech Republic, with over 10,000 visitors each year.
The festival maps the current state of jazz and provides space to both mainstream and modern trends. Its program offers the greatest jazz masters of the world. In recent years, the festival has welcomed the likes of Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, John Scofield, Gregory Porter, Diana Krall, Richard Bona, or Brad Mehidau. During the twenty years of existence, it has grown into a cultural institution which organizes a plethora of off-program events and other activities.
JazzFestBrno is organised by a seven-member core team of professionals and its mission statement is to seek exceptional music and provide extraordinary concerts. The festival presents jazz as a living gene that enriches, cultivates, and inspires our lives.
