The International Jerusalem Jazz Festival




Founded in 2015, the International Jerusalem Jazz Festival is one of Israel’s most beloved musical event.  

Taking place in the splendid art galleries and inspiring sculpture garden of the Israel Museum, the festival features the world and Israel’s leading Jazz artists, presenting original productions, premieres, global-local collaborations,  pop-up improvisations and artist talks.  

Under the artistic direction of world-renowned trumpeter Avishai Cohen, the artistic program reflects the whole gamut of contemporary jazz, from supersonic and free jazz, through big band arrangements to video-live, hip hop and groove.  

Adapting and responding to the unique artistic set up, the festival performances creates a three-way dialogue between music, art and the festival goers.
Indeed, the extraordinary encounter between music and art is the festival’s signature from day one and the central pillar of its artistic vision. 

The Festival is supported by the Cultural Ministry, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Jerusalem Foundation.
