The event emerges from the momentum created by the new jazz department at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. Its first edition will feature an exceptional lineup highlighting current or previously unseen projects by the school's artist-teachers. The festival spans two evenings, April 28 and 29, 2026, with ticket prices ranging from €0 to €28. The full program is available online. The event is a partner of the Club Artistik Rezo.
