In April, it is planned to hold the II International jazz festival in Uzbekistan. This festival is organized by the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan, the State jazz orchestra of Uzbekistan named after B. Zakirov and the Theatre "Ilkhom" ("Ilkhom jazz Club" project) with the support and participation of several embassies and of the Ministry of culture and sports of Uzbekistan, under the auspices of the UNESCO office in Uzbekistan.
The aim of the festival is to enable jazz musicians of Uzbekistan and abroad to hold a celebration of this universal language of the world, through various events in Tashkent and other cities of Uzbekistan.
"Today, musicians from France, Latvia, Turkey and the USA have already confirmed their participation, and some embassies are currently reviewing the participation of their musicians", - the message of the UNESCO office in Tashkent states.
In November 2011, April 30 was officially proclaimed by UNESCO as the "International jazz day" in order to emphasize its role in uniting people from all corners of the globe. In December 2012, the UN General Assembly officially approved the decision to proclaim April 30 as International jazz day. April is a common month for the recognition of jazz.
International jazz day promotes the pursuit of peace, intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity and respect for human rights and human dignity. International jazz day brings together civil society, educational institutions, artists, historians, teachers, and music lovers from around the world to mark this celebration and to learn more about jazz, its roots, culture and influence.
All countries of the world are invited to join the celebration and to pay tribute to the jazz. The goal is to create a world community that through jazz brings together and builds peace. The capital of International jazz day in 2016 will be Washington. On 30 April, 2016, thousand jazz performances and programs will be held in more than 190 countries around the world.
