The unusual concept of JazzBaltica is to push projects and create formations of musicians, who never worked before together. Salzau and his castle in Ostholstein (30 kilometres from Kiel away), the main place of the events, bring together jazz masters, who find the perfect surrounding to realize those projects.

It is to be hoped, that Rainer Haarmann, the artistic director and his team find keys for the birth of new musical ideas and be very popular by music fans from near and far emphasize their support by countless presence.
