The story

Baku Piano Festival in Baku

Founded in 2022 by jazz pianist Shahin Novrasli, the Baku International Piano Festival mixes classical, jazz, pop, flamenco and tango programming around a single instrument, running roughly two weeks each June. A built-in youth-outreach project, We Are the Future, supports young musicians from low-income and special-needs backgrounds.

Jazz pianist Shahin Novrasli founded the Baku International Piano Festival in 2022 under the motto May piano inspire you, and the event has since grown into a multi-week program mixing classical recitals with jazz, pop, flamenco and tango performances rather than sticking to a single genre.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike most piano festivals, which stay within classical repertoire, this one deliberately spans genres, flamenco and tango sit on the same program as classical recitals and jazz sets, reflecting founder Shahin Novrasli's own background as a jazz pianist rather than a classical specialist

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival also runs We Are the Future, a youth-outreach project built into its core structure that brings in children from low-income and special-needs backgrounds specifically, rather than treating outreach as a marginal side event
