Rhythm or melody? In jazz, the trombone is the chameleon of instruments, able to do just about anything. It is close to the human voice and has a wide range of sounds, which three trombonists explore on a journey through the centuries - from Renaissance consort music to blues and jazz. Guided musical hike to the Juac Hut, starting at 9:00 a.m. from the Langental car park. The group will hike together with the musicians of the band. Registration at info@suedtiroljazzfestival.com – limited number of participants.

A country becomes a stage – Jazz a part of the landscape. This year at the Roner distillery with guided tour and tasting. Start at 9 pm. At the South Tyrol Jazz Festival Alto Adige, soloists and ensembles not only venture to dizzying musical “heights”, but even climb “real” mountains with their instruments in tow, playing in a breathtaking alpine landscape. The festival itself often treads completely new paths: self-confidently and sometimes approaching over rugged crevices, it tries to penetrate new soundscapes. Mainstream and concert halls are threatened with extinction at the South Tyrol Jazz Festival Alto Adige. Through contrasts and fusions of unusual concert venues and new sound worlds, organisers and artists seek the unknown, the unheard, the unexpected. Before the concert we invite you to an aperitif and a tasting of the products of the Roner distillery.
