Roma Jazz Festival
Roma Jazz Festival is an international event that presents different forms of jazz: the musical one (with live performances by local, European and international musicians) and the visual one (exhibitions, documentaries, computer-generated creations and a lot more). This year the festival is held from Oct 12th to Nov 25th.
JazzAscona Festival
Once again JazzAscona follows an established and successful form that focuses on a union between jazz music and quality tourism. In a tasteful setting – a beautiful landscape, refined culture, a tradition of hospitality, sunshine, and excellent cuisine – during the ten days of the festival, Ascona is transformed into a music town, offering intriguing moments at every hour of the day, until late at night. A festive and lively (but livable) town, filled with cheerfulness and confusion but at all times serene and welcoming, in which to live an experience of the five senses and from which to explore a territory with a great tourism tradition and rare beauty – from the sunny Lake Maggiore banks to the green and wild valleys into the heart of the Alps.
Jazz Ascona Festival
JazzAscona is considered one of the world’s most important appointments of historical jazz styles and of the music and culture of New Orleans. The festival offers itself as a gathering and exchange place for the international and local jazz scene. Along the Lake Maggiore shores jazz breathes, musicians meet, and tradition renews itself. It is not by chance that every year new ideas and musical projects are born right here in Ascona.
JazzAscona is an extraordinary mix of culture and fun that involves the whole of Ascona’s historical centre with more than 200 concerts and jam sessions with at least 300 musicians from all over the world. The artistic direction is curated by Nicolas Gilliet, who has been at the head of the event for the past nine years.
