The line-up includes Shishani & Miss Catharsis, Max Plattner Trio, NOUT and Almagest Quintet, while there are also special slots given to masters of the music scene in Turkey including Yeni Türkü, Hüsnü Şenlendirici and Alp Ersönmez.
The 6th edition of Bozcaada Jazz Festival will be held on August 26-27-28, 2022 under the main sponsorship of Paribu and with the support of Kendine Has, Volkswagen, Jack Lives Here, Metro Türkiye and Organics by Red Bull. The festival meets music lovers for the 6th time with the contributions of the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Turkish Tourism Promotion and Development Agency (TGA).
The festival programme, hosting new talents as well as the masters of jazz on its stage, was curated in collaboration with the member institutions of the Europe Jazz Network and unveiled its exciting line up last week, on May 26 at a launch event hosted by Salon İKSV in Istanbul.
Gizem Gezenoğlu, the Founding Partner and CEO of the Bozcaada Jazz Festival, underlined the healing power of music and the festival’s theme şifa (cure) in her speech at the launch and highlighted the importance of turning to arts, and music in particular, in times of crisis.
The spirit of music never ceases to exist in Bozcaada!
Created by 3dots and fermente, the festival features concerts that aim to balance the oscillation between mind, body and soul and be a revelation to everyone. Bringing together soul, pop and indie rock tunes, award-winning artists Shishani & Miss Catharsis will perform in Turkey for the first time.
Also taking the stage are Max Plattner Trio, combining pop culture inspirations with jazz tunes, and the French band NOUT, whose members push the limits of their instruments.
This year, the festival focuses on the healing power of being part of a whole. Aiming to create that bond on the island, the festival also brings together the internationally recognized iconic tunes of the local band Yeni Türkü, the legendary and one of the most established bands of the Turkish music scene, and the clarinet master Hüsnü Şenlendirici who is a virtuoso of eclectic vibes.
The melodies of Almagest Quintet, each of which has deep-rooted stories just like the artists involved in this special project, radiate the jazz breeze under the plane trees of the Ayazma Monastery. The festival also offers music lovers the chill-dance session TWO, arranged with electronic infrastructures by Alp Ersönmez and Çağrı Sertel as well as Dilan Balkay's unique naive melancholy, a musical experience intertwined with different tempos and styles.
The common performance of Guillaume Perret, one of the most prominent names of French jazz, and Volkan Öktem, one of Turkey’s leading drummers, is preparing to whet the appetite for music.

The programme offers a selection of activities that appeal to different interests including cultural policies, the local and cultural history of the island, gastronomy, entrepreneurship, art and well-being.
The visual world of the festival was designed in collaboration with Monroe Creative Studio. Thus, the festival gives place to new talents as in other creative areas of the festival; created by Ecem Yüksel, the campaign visual designs consist of parts of a whole and welcome the visitors on the island throughout the festival.

This year culture manager Emre Erbirer undertakes the curation of various activities of the KEŞİF programme, which will take place in line with the festival’s areas of advocacy and touch many different disciplines. Events will include panels, discussions, speeches, screenings and walks.
The pace of the KEŞİF programme will never slow down throughout the festival. The new media service Aposto! is the programme’s content partner and, besides original activities, original content will also be provided via Aposto!’s publications.
