Ra’anana Jazz Fest: Sounds Connect Region

Israel's Ra'anana Jazz Fest champions regional cooperation, hosting artists from Morocco, Turkey, Greece, and more to foster cross-border connections through.

Music is a language we all understand – even when we don’t have words. 

The Raanana Jazz Festival, which opened last week, is much more than a cultural event – it is a celebration of regional cooperation, of dialogue between countries, and of cross-border connections forged through sounds, instruments, and a love for music.

During the festival, artists from Israel and across the region were hosted: Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, Georgia, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, and more – who brought with them the rhythm, spirit, and unique tradition of each country, and met on one shared stage.
