Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige 2025 - Casa Goethe/Goethe Haus

How is a “unique sound” created? And what sounds – today – are good? Jazz musicians – unlike those in European art music – have their own sound, and expression is always more important than just beautiful tone. The Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige, under the artistic direction of Stefan Festini Cucco, Max von Pretz, and Roberto Tubaro, will explore not only the new and innovative sound worlds of contemporary European jazz this summer, but will also enable the creative development of these sounds through interesting acoustic locations across the region. In many unusual resonance spaces, individual sounds will be generated – and live-modified during the concerts. Over 50 concerts will take place from June 27 to July 6 in many different locations across South Tyrol. Concert venues include the Bunker H in Fagen Street in Bolzano, the Franzensfeste Fortress, the Roner Distillery in Termeno, the Ost West Club in Merano, the exhibition halls of the Antonio Dalle Nogare Foundation in Bolzano, the Poschhausstollen in Ridnaun, the Bozen Filmclub, the Harpf beverage store in Brunico, the Stanglerhof in Fie allo Sciliar, the Rittner Horn, the town square in Sterzing, as well as the Waaghaus and the park of Hotel Laurin in Bolzano. New this year are – in addition to the Prettau mine – the Hotel Pragser Wildsee, the former prison "Tschumpus" in Brixen, and the Pünthof in Algund. At the Sudwerk of the Batzenhäusl in Bolzano, in addition to the late-night concerts, the "Kabarila" concert performance will take place for the third time: a five-hour jazz ritual where the audience can either dance or simply listen and enjoy the music. Tickets available online on the official Südtirol Jazz Festival 2025 website.
