Jazz Now: Navigating a Changing World

In the organizer's words:

Jazz and current affairs

The world is in upheaval: political crises, social tensions and a changing music market are also challenging jazz - and the people who shape it. Six outstanding jazz musicians - the mentors of this year's Jazz Academy, which brings together young musicians on their way to becoming professionals - talk about life in the field of tension between art, existence and the present. How is the everyday life of musicians changing? Which new paths are emerging - which are breaking away? What role does jazz play in a time of uncertainty - artistically, socially, economically, perhaps even politically? An evening about artistic realities in the year 2025 - personal, open and direct.
