City Hall Boris Hristov 

Plovdiv Jazz Fest will be opened by the bearer of Grammy – Kurt Elling on his birthday - the 2-nd of November.
Most of the albums of the legendary jazz vocal have been awarded with Grammy. His last project – “Passion World”, is doubtlessly the most ambitious project in his career, devoted to love and heartache.
Passion World, Kurt Elling’s newest recording, culminates nearly five years of collecting and honing songs – and in some cases writing new lyrics – that express love, romance and heartbreak around the world.
Throughout his travels, Elling has observed how deeply felt passions are shaped in countless ways by each unique culture. Those insights have guided the creation of Passion World, a tour – de – force project that is vibrant with diversity, celebrating what makes us all human. In concert Elling tells rich stories about the history and context of each of these songs to sweep you away on a grand tour of exotic places, cultures and times.
Passion World is a musical magic carpet taking you on a fascinating journey through the realms of romance in a concert not to be missed.
