Jazz campus en Clunisois, festival et stage de jazz

INFORMATION 2026 TO COME...

For more than 40 years, Jazz Campus has been playing its fair share of summer festivals. With those who play the music, through courses (or workshops) run by top-notch musicians, which are as much a source of inspiration for local and national amateur players as they are for future professionals.

But it's also, and above all, about sharing with a wide audience - local and national - a programme that gives pride of place to the most innovative, mischievous or impertinent, but in any case musically indisputable, work in the vast field of jazz music today.

Over the course of a week, a dozen concerts in heritage venues around Cluny will showcase the irresistible youth of an art form that is now a hundred years old... but which is far from having said its last word.

The jazz course, which runs throughout the festival, offers young instrumentalists, both amateur musicians and future professionals, an opening onto ensemble playing: orchestra class, collective improvisation and creation, group playing, exploration of a repertoire, fanfare. This course does not offer instrumental training, but is first and foremost an invitation to make music together. This 'recipe' (which is not a recipe) is based on the quality of the participants who, for forty years, have been chosen from among the musicians who make up today's jazz and improvised music scene in France and Europe.

A course for young people (10-14) is also offered, in partnership with the Marelle leisure centre and the Cluny youth club. In 2025, this course will be led by Olivier Marcaud, and will focus on voice and percussion. It's open to all, musicians and non-musicians alike.

In the morning, a creative fanfare, free and open to all, will bring everyone together.
