16th Akbank Jazz Festival

Sounds of the City

The city gives birth to new rhythms and new sounds with each passing day?

Surrounded by sounds of change, history, and trade? Flowing up a central boulevard among the hustle and bustle of busy city denizens new sounds spring up from the ground we tread and trudge along every moment? the sounds are the signs, blending together to make up the collective sound of the city. Each sound, unique in its own way, tells its own tale of the city.

All the gates are wide-open to the brand-new sounds and lifestyles carried over by the innumerable visitors who will always have a place here.

It's the contrasts that make this ethnic melting pot of a city musically wealthy? The sound of this city mixes with the sounds of cities from all around the world, making it possible to hear rich and varied sounds.

This year's festival pays tribute to the diverse sounds that can be found in Istanbul. Jazz lovers will once again have the opportunity to see some of the greatest jazz musicians take the stage at the 16th Annual Akbank Jazz Festival, where legends will make music, unleash their sounds into historic concert halls, and continue to shape the sound of Istanbul for generations to come.

This year, Akbank Jazz Festival will be dedicated to Arif Mardin.
