Although the word "jazz" is in the name of the JOE Association, Patrick Hengst and Simon Camatta will, as usual, interpret it broadly for the JOE Festival 2026: Newcomers and stars of the national and international scene can be found in the program as always! The common thread for the upcoming edition: the best and most creative ideas from the contemporary scene at the most beautiful location! The focus is not on the jazz idiom, but on the music itself - as an emotionally inspiring force. As always, the aim is to work with the audience to take the idea of this music further and catapult it into the "now". The boundaries expand, but the starting point remains the same. Perhaps the most ambitious program of recent years casts its shadow ahead...
