The festival kicks off with a concert from Umlat Big Band, one of the best French jazz formations, consisting of a 14-piece orchestra playing swing jazz from the early-mid 20th Century.
Also plan to see acts like Niels Broos and Jamie Peet, a Dutch duo with a background in hip-hop and electronica, which they incorporate into their contemporary, hip jazz sound. Or Mirror Image, a new band on the jazz scene bringing a unique Scandanavian sound and blending both classical jazz with African folk music.

Or Piff Paw, which blends imagination, unique instruments and fun, child-friendly themes into songs that make both kids and adults laugh.
