The institution that was been embraced by both the public and the artists is celebrating its 10 years. The Department of Modern and Contemporary Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture and the Rialto Theater are organizing on December 8 & 9 the 10th Cyprus Jazz & World Music Showcase 2023, at the Rialto Theater in Limassol.
In these 2 days full of Jazz and world music, 12 bands will participate, consisting of more than 40 musicians. The 8 groups will present their new work at the RIALTO Theater and 4 will be presented at Art Studio 55 next to the theater.
