The story

Vilnius Mama Jazz in Vilnius

An annual Vilnius jazz festival running since 2002 that favors accessible, genre-blending and often vocal-forward programming across three city venues, pairing international headline acts with a dedicated Showcase Stage for Lithuanian performers, plus panel discussions, jazz-master meetings and vinyl exchanges alongside the main concert program.

Vilnius Mama Jazz has run annually since 2002, building a reputation as a genre-blending, boundary-crossing festival that leans toward accessible, often vocal-forward jazz programming rather than the more radical improvisational territory claimed by its older sibling event in the same city.
