It is the oldest of its kind in the country and one of the oldest jazz festivals worldwide, which made a good cause for Sibiu to be declared „Romania’s Jazz Capital” in the 80’s. In the world, there are not many festivals of jazz that can boast with over 46 years of successful activity given that the entire history of jazz is barely one century old.

A major event in ”Sibiu 2007 – Cultural Capital of Europe”, the Sibiu Jazz Festival is a member of the EUROPE JAZZ NETWORK (www.europejazz.net), the most prestigious European jazz network.
