11th Penang Island Jazz Festival

Back for its eleventh year, the Penang Island Jazz Festival kicks off the year-end with a stellar lineup of regionally and internationally renowned musicians. American Idol finalist Crystal Bowersox takes centre stage along with Afro-Lusophone jazz musician Carmen Souza as this year’s headliners. Apart from the creative fringe stages, you can look forward to an array of music-related activities including workshops, jazz exhibitions, afterhours jazz jam and music forums. And for those who wish to start their morning with soothing tunes, Sunrise at TSG (Tropical Spice Garden) is the one to catch.
