Jazz in its various forms touches a chord within everyone as it celebrates all sorts of music which are unique expressions of emotions and life experiences. The Hong Kong International Jazz festival, a much awaited event since its launch in 2008, is able to connect with the audience who respond enthusiastically to the huge range of styles and genres that is offered here. Held at different locations from open air gigs to jam sessions in intimate clubs and performances at chic locations to concerts at large venues like stadiums, it attracts thousands of jazz fans who throng the venues enjoying vibrant and innovative performances presented throughout the festival. It is also a great way to introduce this kind of music to a larger audience. In 2012 the event is scheduled to be held from the 7th to 12th October. Jazz fans are sure to be thrilled by the line-up of hundreds of well known young artistes from the USA, Australia, China, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Serbia, Brazil and Croatia and of course prominent interpreters of the medium from the host city. The theme 'Re Discovery – Jazz into the Future' is expected to bring dynamism, creativity and innovation to the festival. While jazz fans can expect to hear some extraordinary works along with jazz standards, they will also get to meet their icons and exchange views and techniques and discuss a wide range of jazz related topics at the free workshops and master classes that has been a feature of all the festivals held so far. The venues are to include the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, which will host the free opening concert and City Hall. The concert hall at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre will also host a series of free and ticketed events. Late night shows will be held at the Pizza Express shop, Ocean Terminal Harbour City, while other festival related features will include a jazz photo exhibition at Pizza Express.
