Project summary:

Jazz in the park was an innovative music festival dedicated to local communities.

The project aimed at bringing good music closer to the people, to create a context in which thousands of people can interact with quality music and develop their ability to appreciate art and culture.

To that effect, the project entailed one of the most non-formal music events in Romania, by organizing concert in public parks and other public spaces from Cluj-Napoca.

Over 7 concerts will be held by foreign artists, thus the festival contributed to bringing together jazz artists from different countries.

The project enhanced a better understanding of cultural diversity and promoted the cultural identity of different ethnic minorities from Transylvania, through concerts performed by artists belonging to local minorities.
