The 33rd Belgrade Jazz Festival takes place from 26th to 30th October and has a symbolic name, Jazz Visions. The Youth Center of Belgrade and the Sava Center are locations where concerts will be organized every day, and the theme of this year's festival is jazz in contemporary music and modern society, and the influence of jazz on rock and electronic music for dance, so the whole repertoire is in line with global trends.
The spectacular event will be mark by the performances of the best performers from the following countries: Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Israel, Holland, the United States of America, Canada, Hungary, Germany, France, Turkey, Italy, Romania, Portugal and Croatia. Jazz music in the 21st century gathers a large number of people who are fascinated by this genre and more and more young people who turn to quality jazz melodies. The younger and middle generation do not experience jazz as serious but as current music, and many musicians who will perform in Belgrade belong to these age categories.
