FESTIVAL OVERVIEW
Together with the association REBOOT JAZZ 2024, we are launching the new jazz festival of the city of Vienna called OPEN JAZZ VIENNA .
OPEN JAZZ VIENNA 2024 will come to life over four days – from November 18th to 21st, 2024. With a diverse and innovative program, this new festival will reflect the here and now of music while simultaneously looking towards the future.
We are creating a new music festival because Vienna needs an international jazz festival rooted in the city!
The first edition of OPEN JAZZ VIENNA is under the motto OPEN UP and celebrates the artistic openness, diversity and cross-genre character of the current jazz scene in Europe. The new spirit of jazz is breaking away from stylistic boundaries - the music itself has become an open and cross-genre art form. The Austrian jazz scene is also at the cutting edge in an international context and will form the basis of the OPEN JAZZ VIENNA program.
There is so much exciting going on in jazz at the moment, we want to fuel that and offer international and national artists a shared stage in Vienna.
Austrian and international musicians participating in OPEN JAZZ VIENNA share one artistic premise: jazz is many things and jazz should be accessible to many people.
This openness is reflected both in the programming of the festival and in the character of the locations used, because OPEN JAZZ VIENNA is intended for the jazz crowd as well as for newbies.
We have chosen venues that are musically open and do not only appeal to jazz fans. We want to get new people excited about this music and show what the umbrella term jazz can encompass. It should invite, arouse curiosity and not exclude anyone.
