Koa Jazz Festival

For its 17th edition, from November 2 to 9, 2025, the festival returns with a bold, festive program, decisively open to the world.
Once again this year, diverse aesthetics intersect and inspire one another: from New York-style jazz with Gilad Hekselman’s Trio Grande 2.0, to the meditative and sonic poetry of Sophie Bernado, through unprecedented collaborations between Ève Risser & Naïny Diabaté or Hugues Mayot’s quintet, not to mention the mystical trance of Naïssam Jalal, the fiery afro-jazz of Salako, and the raw energy of legendary improvisers Ralph Alessi, Jim Black, and Marc Ducret.
