Jubiläumsfest: 40 Years of Jazz Education in Basel

From 19 to 22 November 2026, we’re celebrating 40 years of jazz education in Basel at the Jazzcampus and the remarkable journey from the first private initiative through adventurous entrepreneurship, associations and festivals that brought people together, to becoming part of the music school of the Basel Academy of Music and the founding of the Institut Jazz at the Basel Academy of Music FHNW. 

Over four days, the festival will feature more than 20 concerts, a variety of interactive activities, an afterparty, and a range of food and drink. Students of all ages, faculty, alumni, and longtime friends and supporters will come together for the anniversary festival and bring four decades of jazz education to life on stage. 

The full program and further details will follow soon. 

Save the Date: November 19–22, 2026
