The festival
The Montreux Jazz Festival takes place in Montreux, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Founded in 1967 by Claude Nobs, the event has grown over the decades into a major gathering known for generating stories and memorable performances. The 60th edition recently concluded after sixteen days of celebration, blending nods to its past with a forward-looking perspective. This anniversary edition was the first event to be held at the Congress Centre following its renovation, and it set the groundwork for future editions. The festival also announced a new concert series called MJF Spotlight Sessions, scheduled for autumn in Villars, along with other initiatives such as a haute couture poster by Kévin Germanier and a photographic project titled The Elegance of Time by Anoush Abrar. The event is supported by global partners, main partners, and co-partners, though specific details about these collaborations are not provided in the source.
