It’s Back!

Yo, Poznań – mark your calendars and dust off your jazz hands ’cause the Enter Enea Jazz Festival is pulling up for its 15th round from June 15–18, 2025, right by the chill waters of Lake Strzeszyńskie. This ain’t just another lakeside hangout – it’s a whole global music trip curated by the one and only Leszek Możdżer, the piano wizard and vibes architect who’s been steering this sonic ship since day one.

This year’s lineup? Pure fire. We’re talking legends, new school trailblazers, and sounds that’ll have your soul levitating. Here’s what’s cooking:

Who’s lighting up the stage?

Al Di Meola – Guitar god with four decades of genre-bending magic. This man plays like time doesn’t exist.
Kenny Garrett – A living saxophone legend who jammed with Miles Davis and scooped up five Grammys. Big respect.
Yonglee & the DOLTANG – Korean jazz squad serving melodies and madness with experimental sauce.
Anat Cohen Quartetinho – Israeli clarinet queen from NYC with more awards than your Spotify playlist.
Blu/Bry – Young Polish jazz rebels making waves in Denmark with jazz, folk, and even some electronic spice.
Gniewomir Tomczyk – Dropping his fresh AF album “Perpetus”, inspired by art, built like a 5-part suite.

Wait, there’s more:

You’ll also witness a special Enter Enea project, where Leszek links up with a killer dream team:
Tia Fuller, Terri Lyne Carrington, Cheikh Ndoye, Mino Cinelu – all masters, all heat.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a massive throwback tribute to the Esbjoern Svensson Trio (EST) – 30 years of jazz legend vibes.

From Bach to Gershwin

To close things out classy, you’ll catch the Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra turning the place into a cinematic dream with:

Bach Expanded
George Gershwin’s Concerto in F & Rhapsody in Blue
Filip Wojciechowski Jazz Trio throwing their own spin on the classics

Art attack incoming

This year’s festival also drops another jaw-dropping piece into the Poznań Visual Park – Poland’s biggest open-air contemporary art gallery. This one’s from artist Konrad Juściński, and it’s gonna be extra.
