Leading Korean jazz artists tour Poland

Established in 2004, Republic of Korea's annual Jarasum Jazz Festival might just as well be the biggest festival of its kind in Asia - and definitely is among the biggest jazz events worldwide. Since 2012, numerous leading Polish jazz artists have performed on its stages - and now the festival returns the favour by bringing some top Korean acts from this domain to Poland.
