iDeeJazz 15
In 2025, iDeeJazz celebrated its 15th anniversary. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the outstanding artists who have performed on iDeeJazz stages over the years and helped shape the festival’s identity and artistic content.
As part of the anniversary year, iDeeJazz concerts took place from October 29–31 in Tartu at Tubina Hall, and in Narva at the concert hall of the University of Tartu Narva College . In addition, the festival was held on four occasions throughout the year in the Grand Hall of Viimsi Artium.
Fifteen years of iDeeJazz have meant a strong commitment to creative jazz music, open dialogue between different cultures, and a meeting place for artists and audiences who value meaningful and timeless music.
We sincerely thank the large audiences who attended the festival concerts in all three cities, as well as all iDeeJazz supporters and partners!
Here we present a photo gallery that offers a glimpse into the events that took place throughout the year and remains as a reminder of the special musical moments we experienced together.
In addition to the photo gallery, we highlight a selection of iDeeJazz media coverage published throughout the year.
