Jazz World Festival

Started as a spontaneously organized "summer jazz chat" in 2005, the festival continued to develop in the following years. The combination of jazz and world music in the festival's programme subsequently gave rise to the Jazz World Festival (JWF).

The Jazz World Festival Chur is an old town open-air festival in pocket size. It makes a guest appearance on Nikolaiplatz. This place offers exactly the right setting for this kind of concert music: beautiful ambience, small but fine, intimate and good-sounding.

In contrast to a festival with music, festival at the JWF means lively, demanding live concerts for an interested, attentive audience.

The Jazz Welt Festival pursues an open concept. Festival visitors are free to come and go. There are no barriers. Interested parties are invited to take a look. Those who stay are asked to buy a ticket. There is a festival box office on the premises.
