EUROPAfest is an annual international music festival and competition held in Bucharest, Romania, organized by jmEvents. It brings together young musicians from dozens of countries to compete and perform in jazz, blues, pop and classical music. The event includes multiple components, notably **Jeunesses International Music Competition** (classical) and the **Bucharest International Jazz Competition**, which feature soloists and ensembles performing before an international jury. While EUROPAfest is not designed specifically as a high school program, talented secondary‑school students who meet the performance standard and age requirements for each section may participate. The festival offers concerts, workshops, and networking with professional musicians, providing exposure on international stages, feedback from experienced jurors, and opportunities for artistic development. Participants can gain performance experience, build their portfolio for future music studies, and connect with peers from across Europe and beyond.
