Thursday, 5th August 2010

The 2010 edition of Funchal Jazz Festival which takes place on 8th, 9th and 10th July at Santa Catarina Park, will present one of the best programs ever, considering the ten previous editions.

The presence of Al Di Meola, Esperanza Spalding, Kenny Barron, David Sanchez, Colina Serrano Project, Jane Duboc and the project Vozes 3 (Maria Joao, Maria Viana, Maria Anadon) are a confirmation for another successful festival which attracts an increasingly interested public to the magnificent space of Parque de Santa Catarina.

This year the organization decided to create a special pack that will give access to all 3 days of the Jazz Festival concerts by the price of 30 Euros. This pass can be purchased until July 5th, at the ticket office of Baltazar Dias Municipal Theatre at Avenida Arriaga. Also, in the same place, the one day tickets for Funchal Jazz Festival 2010 are already for sale at 15 Euros.
