3rd Falkensteiner Jazz Summer

Look forward to the third edition of Falkensteiner Jazz Summer at the Falkensteiner Spa Resort Marienbad

The balmy evening air is filled with music, the sunset accompanied by a cool glass of wine in your hand. Swing, syncopation, improvisation and a distinctive sound - all these elements make jazz the unique and multifaceted musical genre that has everyone’s feet tapping along. The sounds should be free and carefree - almost without rules - like a smooth summer night. We have brought these two mood elements together and created a special event for you: Enjoy wonderful jazz music with us on warm holiday evenings, in the middle of the delightful spa town of Mariánské Lázne.
