Jazz with a new roulette that you can play

Jazz is one of the most widespread genres of contemporary popular music and its presence in the cultural programming of the University of Cadiz has been constant in the last two decades, from a formative as well as an expository point of view.

The commitment of the UCA for this lively and committed style has been matched by a remarkable background, one of whose fundamental episodes has been the Campus Jazz Puerto Real cycle, which counts on the collaboration of the City Council and which, in 2016, celebrates Its XXIII edition with four concerts on 11, 12, 13 and 16 November.

Tickets are priced at 10 euros for the general public and 8 euros for the university community.The bonus for the four concerts is also available for 30 euros or 25 for college students. They can be purchased through the platform www.jackpotbetonline.com or at the box office of the Principal.
