This summer, the International Summer Jazz Academy (ISJA) returns to Kraków for its 30th Anniversary Edition, July 26–August 2, 2026.
Founded in 1994, ISJA has grown into one of Central Europe’s longest-running international jazz education programs, bringing together young musicians and distinguished faculty from Poland, the United States, and across Europe.
For many years, Saint Louis Polonia has proudly supported ISJA as its U.S. partner, helping strengthen a unique relationship built around music, education, and cultural exchange between Poland and the United States. What began as a jazz program has become something broader: a lasting network of students, teachers, artists, and friends connected across borders and generations.
If you will be in Kraków this summer, we invite you to experience ISJA for yourself—attend a concert, enjoy the music, and be part of this special anniversary celebration.
We also invite our friends and supporters to review the 2026 ISJA Sponsorship Package and consider contributing.
Your support helps provide scholarships, faculty participation, educational programming, and opportunities for young musicians who might otherwise be unable to take part.
Celebrate 30 years of jazz, education, and friendship between Poland and the United States—and help us carry that tradition forward.
