Since 2001, the Athens Jazz has been inviting us at the end of spring, just before summer, to a music trip, marking thus the start of the concert season in Athens. The city's longest-running music event, with free admission, has been hosting a variety of international, acclaimed jazz trends, bands and groups from all over the globe, attracting daily more than 6,000 visitors.<\/p>\n

Thus, Technopolis<\/a> has become the setting for a seven-day exciting cultural feast. The Athenians and visitors to the city are invited to participate in an exciting celebration, with jazz music at its core. The Athens Jazz opens its doors to welcome the public from morning till evening, allowing young and old to enjoy a rich - international standards - music program, with live shows and more at Gazi and throughout the city.<\/p>\n

To date, the Athens Jazz has hosted more than 265 international and local bands and 2,900 musicians from 28 countries.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
