Hello,

We are the Lithuanian Jazz Federation. Our aim is to represent the community, nurture it and ensure opportunities for the promotion of Lithuanian jazz; therefore, we are actively involved in international platforms such as jazzahead.

This is one of the most important hubs for the jazz industry worldwide, where festivals, publishers, agents, organisations and musicians come together, and the connections made lead to concerts, tours and long-term opportunities.

After five years of consistent work alongside Music Estonia, Essti JazzLiitt and the Latvian Music Information Centre, we have become the jazzahead focus region for 2027. This means exceptional visibility for the Baltic countries, greater promotional opportunities and direct involvement in the industry’s key formats.

However, in order to make the most of these opportunities, a strong physical presence is essential. The current Baltic States stand is too small and limits our capabilities – we cannot host enough meetings, present artists comfortably, or create a professional impression for international partners.

The funds raised will be used to expand the Baltic States’ stand (from 40 square metres to 100) and ensure its professional implementation in 2027. This includes the space, architecture and design, as well as the fitting out of functional zones.

By contributing, you are directly investing in the export of Lithuanian jazz and its visibility on the international market.
