XIV JAZZ FESTIVAL BANSKO 2011 6–13 August
Dear ladies and gentlemen, dear jazz friends,
We are about to enjoy the performances of great jazz and pop musicians featured in the programme of the 14th International Jazz Festival in Bansko. Music legends such as Jackie Ryan, Larry Vuckovich, Mungo Jerry and other, greatly talented and popular participants in the festival, such as Jive Aces, Yoni Vidal, Rick Margitza and Oleg Kireev, are a guarantee of the true world jazz forum we all want Bansko to become.
In times of economic crisis it is particularly difficult to organise a non-commercial event of this kind, and therefore let me express both my own gratitude and that of all jazz fans to the municipality of Bansko and the management of First Investment Bank, which have been supporting this festival for 14 years now, to all other firms and institutions, diplomatic missions, hotels and private persons, who responded and helped to make the festival happen this year too.
I appeal to all visitors to the festival to stay only in the hotels listed in this booklet. Through the hotels they will be able to request and buy subscription cards for seats on the festival square. As the number of these subscription cards is limited, you are advised to apply early. I wish you all a wonderful week in the town of Bansko!
Dr. Emil Iliev,
Founder and organiser of the festival
