Jazz à Vienne festival

Description

This internationally-renowned festival honours all kinds of music: gospel, blues, soul, funk, ethnic... They will all find a special place on the festival stages, as the event is fully experienced both at the Théâtre Antique and on one of the different stages. The Théâtre Antique, built in the 1st century, is the emblematic venue of Jazz à Vienne. Its unique acoustics, combined with its history, provide an exceptional setting for the public and the internationally renowned artists who perform there. A true blend of the modern and the ancient, a sincere musical melting pot, the festival is rich in diversity and open to all.

Jazz à Vienne looks forward to welcoming you to the 45th edition of the festival in 2026. This anniversary edition marks the birth of an unprecedented partnership between Jazz à Vienne and the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Over the 65 years of its existence, this festival has established itself as the world's biggest event dedicated to animation. It encompasses the Festival and the Marché international du film d'animation, offering a rich programme of screenings, previews, retrospectives, conferences, exhibitions and more. Celebrating creativity and the diversity of styles and techniques (from drawing to virtual reality), the event brings together talent from all over the world.

The first fruit of this collaboration will be the visual identity for the 2026 edition of Jazz à Vienne, entrusted to Lucrèce Andreae, a product of the creative pool at the Annecy Festival, where her work was selected in competition and awarded a Special Jury Prize for her graduation film in 2011. Lucrèce then went on to present her animated short, Pépé Le Morse, which won the 2017 Annecy Festival Audience Award. The quality of her work, her ability to explore different artistic forms with brio, her sensitivity and the visual splendour shown in the first images of her next film augur well for the future of the Jazz à Vienne 2026 line-up.
