The festival opens on July 8 with composer and pianist Florian Christl and his ensemble. Joining him will be acclaimed violinist Niklas Liepe, known for his performances in prestigious venues such as the Elbphilharmonie.
The next evening, the spotlight will be on rising piano star Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, who will perform a recital dedicated to the timeless works of Frédéric Chopin.

Following this, celebrated bassist Günther Groissböck will perform alongside La Scala pianist Nelson Calzi, bringing operatic depth to the programme. Both artists have graced the stages of world-renowned opera houses, including the Vienna State Opera and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
The festival will culminate on July 12 with the sophisticated jazz elegance of Claire Martin and her ensemble. Known as one of the most celebrated voices in British jazz, Martin will offer a vibrant and uplifting finale beneath the summer sky at Minthis.
