On the slope of Chur's Mittenberg, above the episcopal courtyard with castle and cathedral, lie the spectacular remains of St. Stephen from the 5th/6th century. Once laid out as a tomb of the early bishops of Chur, large parts of the complex fell into disrepair during the early modern period. Today encased in the Graubünden Cantonal School and restored in a museum, this unique site invites visitors to immerse themselves in times long past. Manuel Janosa, a building researcher from the Archaeological Service of the Grisons, gives a tour of the complex.

Chur Cathedral, the sacred centre of one of the oldest dioceses in Switzerland, was built as a Romanesque basilica in the 12th/13th century on the foundations of its older predecessors.

You will be guided through the cathedral with its rich furnishings from numerous eras by Manuel Janosa, who accompanied the last restoration from 2003-07 and who will give you an understanding of the current, previously unpublished state of research.

From herb dwarfs to turtles - in the blue wonderland people cook and laugh! Linard Bardill tells and sings to it.

The Abou Samra Quintet from Lucerne presents an energetic mixture of jazz, Arabic classical music and folk music. Own and newly interpreted works create a pulsating and touching atmosphere. The Rhaeto-Romanic guest singer Chiara Jacomet blends in elegantly with her powerful and dark-velvety voice; sometimes jazz diva, sometimes electropop muse or singer-songwriter.

Line:
Gabriele Pezzoli p, Cédric Gysler db, Brian Quinn dr

The Gabriele Pezzoli Trio around the pianist of the same name from Lausanne plays their own compositions, complemented by selected pieces from contemporary jazz. The sound of the ensemble is shaped as much by the community within the band as by the individual expression of the three musicians. The trio has its fourth album "June", which will be released at the beginning of 2025, in its luggage.

Line:
Olga Reznichenko p, Lorenz Heigenhuber db, Maximilian Stadtfeld dr

The trio - nominated for the German Jazz Prize in 2023 - plays with influences from classical modernism, minimalism and modern jazz. Intuitive approaches are combined with clear ideas about mood and timbre. Complex harmonic and rhythmic structures, subtle and powerful moments as well as melodic points of contact result in a personal aesthetic.

The jam session allows professionals and amateurs alike to present themselves, try out new things and cultivate the fun and joy of playing together without much concert pressure. At the same time, they promote networking and dialogue on an artistic and interpersonal level. JazzChur also cultivates the long-standing jazz tradition - which can be experienced by musicians and audiences alike.

The house band opens the evening with a small concert. During the subsequent jam session, the members of the house band accompany the participating musicians or make room at their instruments.

Line:
Gianna Lavarini sax, Anna Bläsi voc, Till Santschi bs, Jason Nordemann dr

The band around saxophonist Gianna Lavarini met at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and completes itself with Till Santschi on bass and Jason Nordemann on drums.

The band plays its debut at the JazzChurFestival, reinforced by the Graubünden singer Anna Bläsi with her wonderful voice.
