1. BOHÉM FESTIVAL:
In spite of what I earlier announced, there WILL BE the Bohém Ragtime & Jazz
Festival for the twenty-sixth occasion in a row. The festival will be held
March 24-26, 2017, in the Hírös Agóra Cultural Centre in Kecskemét, as
usual. More news very soon, including ticket-links etc.
2. JAZZ CAPITAL FESTIVAL:
Mark your calendar: Aug 3-6, 2017 will be the time of our 2nd JAZZ CAPITAL
festival in Kecskemét, Hungaryl. More very soon, but again, we'll have about
150 musicians coming from 15 countries.
3. BOHÉMS ON THE ROAD IN EUROPE:
If you can't make it to Hungary this year, you might be able to catch us in
your country. We'll be touring Germany, the UK, Denmark, Sweden, Slovakia
and negotiating few other gigs, too. Please, check our Gig page on our
website where you can find those dates that are already contracted: http://www.bohemragtime.com/en/gigs.html
4. SCOTT JOPLIN CD:
2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Joplin's death (and probably the 150th
anniversary of his birth) and we'll release a new Joplin CD before summer.
It will be an interesting work for us, too and some of his least-known
compositions are planned to be included. Look for the release news in a few
months :) By the way, we'll make a special Scott Joplin concert at the Bohém
Festival, too and there will be a Scott Joplin Memorial Marathon at the JAZZ
CAPITAL fest as well.
