Beirut Central District Celebrates International Jazz Day
(What's up ?) 10 years ago

For the second year in a row, Beirut joins other cities globally to celebrate the International Jazz Day on Wednesday April 30th. Solidere, under the patronage of the UNESCO, is organizing the night-long event, which has now become key on the capital's yearly music agenda. Last year, the event attracted more than 8,000 attendees to Uruguay Street, the heart of nightlife in Downtown.

 

This year's program was announced on April 24th during a press conference with Mr. Joseph Kreidy- UNESCO representative, Ms. Randa Armanazi- Communications and PR Director at Solidere, Mr. John Kassabian - Artistic Manager of the event, in addition to participating bands and media representatives.

Mr. Kreidy noted that "The idea behind launching the international Jazz Day by the UNESCO was to stress the values of this genre, which inspired numerous activism movements to achieve freedom, tolerance and human dignity."

 

After thanking the UNESCO and all participating partners, Ms. Armanazi stated that "the International Jazz Day has become an annual tradition that's aligned with UNESCO's mission to encourage international dialogue and openness though music". She continued "We at Solidere are working relentlessly to ensure the continuity of this event in Lebanon, so as to create sustainable platforms of cultural interaction between Lebanese and international artists"

 

Mr. Kassabian introduced the program and announced the participation of the following 6 local bands:

-              Lebanese Conservatory Big Band·

-              The Real Deal Blues Band

-              The Funky Blues Brothers

-             Arthur Satyan Organ Quartet

-             Jazzmine Bey Quartet

-              Xango

 

Everyone is invited to celebrate Jazz again this year. Admission to the event is free, and concerts take place between 7 PM and 1 AM at the Samir Kassir Square, Uruguay Street.
