Greetings from Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský

Dear fans of good music,
Let me greet you on the occasion of this year's Bohemia JazzFest. I appreciate all the events that put the Czech Republic on the cultural map of the world, and I consider Bohemia JazzFest to be one of them. 
 
It is great that it brings the work of musicians from all over the globe to the Czech public through free concerts. 
Music is joy and there is never enough joy, especially in these turbulent times. Therefore, I wish all visitors of JazzFest a time full of inspiration, joy and good mood.
