The festival will kick off on February 23 at the Teatre del Casino 17 de Gener in Ciutadella, with an exciting presentation party that will mark the beginning of a series of musical events that will run until June 1. Although this year's edition may be a bit more modest than the previous one, with a dozen events in total, the quality and diversity of the program is guaranteed.
This year, the festival will have a special focus on the piano, with the outstanding presence of three renowned pianists: Australian Sarah McKenzie, Marco Mezquida and Moisés P. Sánchez. McKenzie, who was supposed to perform at the festival in 2020 but had to cancel due to the pandemic, will finally make her long-awaited debut on the island. For his part, Mezquida will present his latest project "Tornado", while Sánchez will captivate the audience with his virtuosity on the keys.
The Menorca Jazz Festival offers beyond the concerts a variety of additional events, such as film screenings, workshops and master classes. It also offers the opportunity to enjoy live music in different venues on the island, from historic theaters to open-air halls.
After a day at the festival, it is suggested to rest in one of the island's hotels. Two recommended options are the Valentin Son Bou and the Valentin Star Menorca, part of the Valentin Hotels chain. The former stands out for its tranquility and proximity to Son Bou beach, ideal for couples or families. While the second, located in Cala'n Bosch, offers a luxury experience with an elegant design and high-quality services. Both hotels complement the festival experience, providing elegance, comfort and exceptional hospitality for an unforgettable vacation in Menorca.
