The story

Syros Jazz Festival in Ermoupoli/Syros

A free jazz festival in Ermoupolis, Syros, founded in 2013 by the non-profit Re-Solution, staging concerts, cinema and visual arts across the neoclassical Apollon Theater, the Historical Museum and other venues around the historic port town each September. Recent editions have taken on an increasingly international character.

Local hangout bars putting jazz-inspired dishes and drinks on their regular menus for the festival's duration says something about how thoroughly the Syros Jazz Festival has embedded itself into Ermoupolis life since Re-Solution, a local non-profit, launched it in 2013.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's free public programme, spanning concerts, cinema screenings and visual arts, removes cost as a barrier to an art form often associated with paid specialist venues, and its choice to stage performances inside the nineteenth-century Apollon Theater, a genuine neoclassical opera house, gives concerts an architectural setting distinct from a standard festival tent or park stage

02

The mystery stays covered

Local bars and restaurants across Ermoupolis create jazz-themed food and drink specials during the festival week, extending the event's identity beyond its official venues into the town's everyday hospitality scene in a way few music festivals achieve
