The first Iisalmi Jazz Festival is held this week from Friday to Sunday.
"Since 2015 Iisalmi city in eastern Finland has become a major jazz city. Local entrepreneurs and Koko Jazz Club have developed a fluid collaboration that reaches growing audience for world class jazz concerts. The biggest key to jazz success is the people: Iisalmi people are real cosmopolitans with their easy going, curious towards new things attitude. It is a joy to build the first Iisalmi Jazz Festival, with You people!
Music is an universal language, fully understandable and abstract at the same time. It takes you to a journey as you breath. Without a notice, music touches you deeply. It also continues you cared about it or not. Iisalmi Jazz Festival programme is solid from the foundation to a top. Soulful, risk taking, giving everything artists will take us to a unforgettable journey. See you in the lights of aurora borealis!" says the artistic director of the destival, Timo Hirvonen.
