This marks the festival\u2019s 71st edition, and this year\u2019s theme is wisdom. The Jazz Finland 100 anniversary is reflected in the program with a strong jazz lineup, and Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4n Kes\u00e4 will bring to the stage, among others, <strong>J. Karjalainen<\/strong>, <strong>Maustetyt\u00f6t<\/strong> and <strong>MELO<\/strong>n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of the music software is jazz: radiant stars arrive in Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4<strong> Aili Ikonen<\/strong> and <strong>Oona Airola<\/strong>, American jazz banjo player <strong>Cynthia Sayer<\/strong> and award-winning pianist-composer <strong>Heikki Sarmanto<\/strong> with one of the legends of Finnish jazz <strong>Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Workshop Band<\/strong> with. Additionally, listeners will be able to enjoy, among other things <strong>Samuli Edelmann<\/strong> from the summer concert in Keuruu as well <strong>Elton John<\/strong> Ikimuistoiset kappaleet in tribute concert. Ursus Factory, emma &amp; matilda and helmi marleena, among others, will perform at the park festival alongside J. Karjalainen and MELO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performing arts offer up hearty humor and dramatic twists. For example, audiences can dive into Queen<strong> Elizabeth I<\/strong>and playwright <strong>Anton Chekhov<\/strong> and his wife <strong>Olga Knipper<\/strong> to delve into the countess's secret vices <strong>La Kalan<\/strong> in the salon opera, and deepen their own relationship with nature <strong>Story Theatre Raakku<\/strong> for the performance taking place in the garden of Kulttuuritalo Villa Rana. In addition, as usual, various workshops and discussion events will be offered. Ensuring entertainment for the whole family is especially taken care of by <em>Children's Summer<\/em>, which includes, among other things, various activity points, characters that can be sung to and played with, music moments, and the anticipated Oikokatu painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Festival, we\u2019ll also have the chance to gain some insight through a recently released talk show. The discussion program explores wisdom from various perspectives: What is wisdom, and where can it be found? Do we still know how to value wisdom? Is it even wise to be wise anymore?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening seminar asks if journalism matters, and if so, to whom. Whose stories will be told, or will the provinces remain news deserts? A media decision-maker and a director will ponder these questions. <strong>Merja Yl\u00e4-Anttila<\/strong>, group CEO <strong>Vesa-Pekka Kangaskorp<\/strong>I (Media Group Keskisuomalainen), journalist <strong>Oskari Onninen<\/strong> (New Thing), Editor-in-Chief <strong>Nikke Sillanp\u00e4\u00e4<\/strong> (Rare Media) and Assistant Professor of Media and Communication Studies <strong>Karoliina Talvitie-Lamberg<\/strong>.
