IB.SH-JazzAward

Dear jazz enthusiasts,

when a Swedish trombonist brings together top international musicians and the stars of tomorrow on the Baltic coast of Schleswig-Holstein – that means JazzBaltica is back. At the end of June, Timmendorfer Strand becomes the vibrant capital of jazz.

We have supported this special festival for many years out of conviction, and our IB.SH Jazz Award for talented young musicians has a firm place at JazzBaltica. Admittedly, our support is also a little bit self-serving. For quite apart from the fact that the festival strengthens the region culturally and economically: year after year, there is an enthusiasm in the air that is infectious and never lets go. That is certainly how I and we at Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein feel.

To you, dear guests, and to all the artists, I wish you a varied festival filled with wonderful concerts and encounters. Enjoy the unique atmosphere of JazzBaltica.

Dr Michael Adamska
Executive Board Representative Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein (IB.SH)
