The Macedonian National Jazz Orchestra - a symbol of fine jazz music and high-level artistic performance. This fiery big band unites top-of-the-line jazz musicians from Macedonia and internationally renowned guest artists. Established as a national institution in 2024, it has quickly become a central force in the country’s cultural life.
Guest artist features include vocalists Kurt Elling and Maria Mendes, whose performances have contributed to the orchestra’s growing international profile. The upcoming season will present collaborations with Donny McCaslin, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Yellowjackets. Previous projects have involved artists such as Seun Kuti, Don Menza, Luis Bonilla, Adedeji, Francesco Bearzatti, Darko Rundek, Rambo Amadeus and many more.
With innovative programming, sold-out performances, and strong audience engagement, it has built a reputation as a national jazz brand.
