Jazz In Paros Festival is growing into its fourth year and will be held from July 19 to 27, 2014 on the beautiful island of Paros in Greece. Its reputation on the island is gaining influence due to its formula of bringing international and Greek performing artists to the Cycladic Islands.
All week long there will be concerts featuring jazz-related music performed throughout the island on outdoor stages underneath the stars. A creative performance of jazz and poetry is planned for the Lefkes Amphitheater, featuring the Parian poet Christos Georgousis and the students of the Paros Jazz Academy. PJA is a unique music experience for jazz enthusiasts which is held during the Jazz In Paros Festival: parosjazzacademy.com.
