The XV International Jazz Day Mallorca 2026 takes place on April 30, offering a unique cultural experience under the theme “Miró & Jazz.” The event will be held at Fundació Miró Mallorca, one of the island’s most iconic cultural venues.
This fifteenth edition is part of the global International Jazz Day, an initiative promoted by UNESCO and created by Herbie Hancock, aimed at highlighting jazz as a tool for dialogue, freedom, and cultural understanding.
Miró & Jazz: art and music as universal languages
The 2026 edition focuses on the connection between the artist Joan Miró and jazz—two forms of expression that share key values such as:
- Improvisation
- Experimentation
- Creative freedom
- Commitment to human values
The “Miró & Jazz” concept reflects how both artistic languages interact, becoming powerful tools for social expression and creative dialogue.
An international cultural event with impact
International Jazz Day goes beyond music. It is a global platform that promotes:
- Freedom and equality
- The fight against racism and discrimination
- The transformative power of music in society
In Mallorca, the event is organized by the Escola de Música Ireneu Segarra, the Centro UNESCO Mallorca, and the Fundació Miró Mallorca.
