What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its setting directly among the Israel Museum's outdoor sculpture installations, five simultaneous stages spread through the Billy Rose Sculpture Garden rather than a single concert hall, and its emphasis on newly commissioned productions and premieres over standard touring sets, distinguishes it from conventional jazz festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Staging jazz directly among the museum's outdoor sculpture installations, rather than in a conventional concert hall, lets audiences wander between Henry Moore and other works while sets play across the garden after dark
