Dear jazz friends!

FREE CONCERTS AT THE JAZZ FESTIVAL!
Why not take along some friends who are not yet familiar with the world of jazz? Here are some tips on tasters and concerts the jazz festival is offering in collaboration with Musik i Syd and Ystad Municipality. Free admission!
Concert in support of Ukraine We get off to an early start on 2 August at 11.00 and invite you to Saluhallen for a concert by the Österlen band, Blue Light Jazzband. Admission is free, but it is hoped that audience members will contribute to raising funds for children in Ukraine. Our collaboration partners, Save the Children Ystad and Ystad S:t Petri Rotary Club, will ensure that the funds get to where they are needed!
