Since its outset in 1990, the Schaffhausen Jazz Festival has strived to foster national creativity through "jazz and improvised music." They are firm believers that quality variety is essential for success. Therefore, annually at Kulturzentrum Kammgarn, located in Schaffhausen, around 10 formations perform on its stage over four days in May. The devoted committee does not waver from this guiding principle, as they have seen an eager audience responding positively time after time.
The Schaffhausen Jazz Festival has the unique advantage of limiting its focus to one concept, which separates it from other festivals. This concentration of jazz groups on a single weekend is an opportunity for the city and its public funds to gain image boosts in their regional competition. Not only does this create a vibrant atmosphere that can attract new audiences, but it also ensures musicians are given ample opportunities to showcase their talents. Music is an integral part of understanding and reflecting on reality, and thus it acts as a report card that shows how one perceives their environment; this can be seen particularly through festivals, where time diagnosis and creativity come together more than ever before.
Come join the festivity at the 34th Schaffhauser Jazzfestival, starting May 10–13! Experience the sounds of vibrant jazz from young bands while admiring the stunning atmosphere. Best part? You may take a stroll and enjoy the city's scenery while hopping from venue to venue—a perfect opportunity for any music enthusiast! Don't miss out on this incredible weekend and catch up with the event's unique festival virus.
