In the second half of 2024, Polish artists participating in JAZZ PO POLSKU Foundation's 'Around the World' project will visit equally distant corners of the world - such as China, Egypt, Indonesia and the Republic of Korea.
JAZZ PO POLSKU Foundation's 'Around the World' project started in May of 2023 - and will last until the end of 2025. Within these three years, leading young Polish jazz artists are scheduled to visit at least 20 countries and play over 100 concerts on 4 continents - out of which over 60 concerts in 10 countries have already been performed.
