Jazz sur la ville
About this event
This program reflects what makes Jazz sur la Ville unique: a collective adventure bringing together cultural venues and festivals with a wide range of profiles across the Région Sud, united by a desire to bring jazz and improvised music to life in the broadest sense. From one area to another, from a renowned major stage to a more intimate venue, each organization brings its own character and helps shape a rich, vibrant and open artistic landscape. Here, all the offerings engage with one another on equal terms: they speak both to the diversity of styles and to the different ways of connecting with audiences. This program invites you to explore a multitude of experiences: concerts, gatherings, workshops, training courses, screenings and opportunities to share knowledge. It is for both passionate fans and the curious, and celebrates a plural, free and ever-evolving jazz, nourished by encounters, explorations and discoveries. We wish you wonderful musical journeys through the venues and areas that make up this edition. In Marseille:
