Since that
first edition of the festival few things have changed, but not the festival’s
spirit and identity that, together with its top-quality programs and its warm
and friendly atmosphere, have been at the heart of its success. For the fifth
edition of this festival, George Kontrafouris, the artistic
director of the festival, presented a program with a repertoire ranging from
traditional jazz standards to more contemporary and modern jazz. Highlight of
this edition, Manfred Schoof founder of European free jazz.
The Tinos
Jazz Festival presents an outstanding showcase of the jazz music that attracts
more and more supporters and Jazz fans from a wide-range of ages and nationalities.
The success of the event comes down to the variety of talents and music genres,
and to the fact that the festival provides something for everyone. In a short
period of time Tinos Jazz Festival has become a unique forum for both
contemporary and future jazz. It offers you the opportunity to get familiar
with jazz in all its forms, to discover the newest evolutions, to experience
the confrontation between styles and artistic views.
The Tinos Jazz festival is organized by an
active cultural foundation, helped by motivated staff members, capable and
voluntary, related to a lot of precious friends, and all of this in the heart
of the Aegean Sea.
