Festivals & events

This is the time of the year when we get lovely music news. The music that pours out the streets of İstanbul, enlightens us and hugs all the visitors. If you are here during these dates don’t hesitate to pick a concert of your choice in the spots indicated and live the city to its maximum.

İstanbul Jazz Festival is celebrating its 20th year this year and it spreads throughout the city in 14 different spots. It will take place between 8-18 July 2013.

Istanbul Jazz Festival, which provides audiences with new discovery opportunities through its eclectic programme and various venues it uses, will continue to let music lovers experience firsts by organising concerts in unusual venues. But the best spot for me is always Salon IKSV.

In addition to the usual hosts of the festival such as Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall, Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Stage, Haliç Congress Center, Istanbul Modern, Istanbul Archeological Museum, Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum and Salon IKSV; the new venues that will be featured in this year’s festival are Embassy of Germany Tarabya Summer Residence, Consulate General of Austria – Austrian Cultural Office Garden, Feriye Restaurant, Istanbul Technical University Maçka Campus Mustafa Kemal Lecture Hall, KüçükÇiftlik Park, Rahmi M. Koç Museum and Imperial Garden of Yıldız Palace.

Time to enjoy the City!
