Jerusalem International Jazz Festival at Israel Museum

The Jerusalem International Jazz Festival returns for its 12th year, presenting a wide-ranging artistic experience highlighting jazz in its many forms, from traditional to experimental, with a focus on improvisation, creative expression and musical exploration. Five stages are spread across the grounds, including the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden, ranging from large-scale venues to more intimate performance spaces. This year's festival draws inspiration from the tension between balance and imbalance, with programming reflecting a mix of structured and spontaneous performances. The program spans classical and psychedelic jazz, with original productions, premieres and collaborations between local and international artists emphasizing first-time musical encounters.
