Since 1984, when the first Apollonia Festival of Arts was organized, the event has always been held in the ancient seaside city of Sozopol – an atmospheric place with plenty of cultural sights to see.

Apollonia is a festival of all arts: from music, through theatre, dance and plastic art to literature and poetry, cinema. It aims to preserve and present to the audience the unique Bulgarian culture as well as to show the newest achievements and artistic interpretations of many Bulgarian and foreign artists.

Jazz of New York - a concert devoted to New York `s famous jazz composers and musical creativity of their imagination. The musicians will present a special program of popular jazz melodies in new artistic arrangements.

There are also going to be guest stars: the world famous pianist Paul Hefner (USA) and new vocal star Tara Nova, USA in collaboration with major Bulgarian jazz performers Boris Taslev [bass], Mitko Dimitrov [drums] and young and promising artist Elica Harbova on the piano.

New York Night jazz is a diverse and endlessly inventive - that vibrant, syncopated, lyrical and sometimes naughty music that captures the world's imagination the moment it was first recorded in 1917. We love it still, and in that special way we love an old, familiar friend.

But do we really know New York jazz? A few of the standard tunes, yes. They are familiar. And we instantly recognize the piano-bass or clarinet or the "Dixieland Sound" - offered up by many bands in many lands today. But in most respects the true classic jazz of New York is a stranger to us. Most of the exciting repertoire of the period that resonated in the most famous City of the world. So if we still love that music, we do so as we sometimes love old friends: inadvertently neglecting so much that makes them what they are.

Don’t miss this perfect example of New York Jazz Evergreen, because Sozopol is a very special music jazz destination for carefree leisure.
