(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The Municipality of Trieste with TriesteLovesJazz and Casa della Musica/School of Music 55, presented the 59th Ljubljana Festival, thus confirming the connection between Trieste and the Slovenian capital. Trieste hosts Ljubljana every year, reviving the "twinning" in the name of jazz between the Slovenian festival and the event that takes place in the capital of the FVG region. TriesteLovesJazz will be introduced as early as Friday in the context of Trieste Estate (Summer in Trieste) and will be officially presented on June 19th, at 11 am, in the Sala Giunta of the Trieste City Hall. The Ljubljana jazz Festival is Europe's longest running festival of its kind; always featuring today's music trends in Europe. This year it will take place in Ljubljana from 27 to 30 June, and the Cankarjev Dom will host most of the scheduled events. The concerts will be held in the beautiful Gallus Hall (large auditorium, with perfect acoustics), at Cankarjev Dom Park, at Cankarjev Dom Club and at Linhart Hall, the second largest and most important hall in the building. The Festival received the EJN AWARD award for the most adventurous festival from the European Jazz Network. This year the festival combines the best Slovenian proposals and a broad overview of European jazz, with international jazz stars - including the Dave Holland Trio, Zakir Hussain, Chris Potter, Dhafer Youssef quartet and the famous percussionist Zlatko Kaučič, who will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of his career in Ljubljana, along with Stefano Battaglia (piano) and Salvatore Maiore (drums).
