Groovin’ Up


Since 2020 JazzAscona has been inviting professional music students from campuses around the world giving them the opportunity to share the festival stages along with internationally acclaimed acts. For our 42nd edition we will accommodate and feature many young talents from Switzerland and abroad.

Our Groovin’ Up initiative is looking forward to presenting young musicians from all over the world to participate in our festival.
Youngsters have the one-of-a-kind possibility to perform live on stage along with many exceptional Jazz musicians visiting Ascona.

Professional music students can benefit from promotional packages including interviews or video clips as well as performances on the festival stages with their own bands, as the festival contributes to their artistic and professional growth. All young musicians are being accommodated in town by JazzAscona’s hospitality service.
