Imagine jazz melodies floating through the warm Corfiot evening air, as the sun dips below the horizon and sailing boats sway gently in the marina. Welcome to Jazz in the Heart of Corfu: Seaside Sessions at Marina Benitses—a hidden musical gem in the music island of Greece.
Following three sold-out seasons, our pop-up jazz club returns for another unforgettable summer together, this time at the picturesque Marina Benitses. This unique harbor, once a filming location for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, offers the perfect backdrop for a night of music, storytelling, and connection. Nestled in the heart of a traditional fishing village, this "living room" by the sea invites you to experience Corfu like a local.
From 19:00 onwards, Sofia and a curated lineup of local jazz talent welcome you to a relaxed and intimate setting. Enjoy three vibrant performances as the sun reflects off the Ionian Sea, paired with delicious local offerings and stories about the island and its unique music culture.
Our evening together starts with a warm welcome by our team, who will walk you to your table. Feel free to come over from 19.00 on, to settle in. Immerse yourself in the stunning setting, once a film location, with views of the Ionian Sea and sailing boats. Dig in a delicious a la carte menu & drinks if you like, which will be served during our experience by the Restaurant. We will start our music experience at around 19.30, once most of our guests have arrived. Sit back and get ready for a unique jazz intimate concert, full of music & stories. Sofia, your host & storyteller, will kick off the evening together and guide you through. She will then invite on this dreamy "living room" by the sea our hand-picked jazz musicians to offer you exactly this: 3 unique musical performances to showcase some of the finest local talent, paired with stories and anecdotes of the music island of Greece. Sink in, let the sea breeze carry you, and discover the true spirit of Corfu—through music.
