AKRA YOUNG JAZZ

Akra Jazz Festival brings fresh energy to its program by supporting young musicians and ensembles, introducing them to audiences through the Akra Young Jazz concerts. 

These concerts, which will become a festival tradition each year, are organized in collaboration with İKSV. They will feature groups that participate and perform in the Young Jazz+ competition held within the Istanbul Jazz Festival, as well as one invited group from Antalya. 

This year, the Akra Young Jazz night will host performances by August, Kick The Switch, Afroloji, and Onat Murat Trio.
