Culture
Montreux Jazz Festival
A visionary and passionate jazz enthusiast, Claude Nobs created the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1967. Thanks to his flair, enthusiasm and openness, the festival soon evolved beyond the original concept to attain a unique, international dimension. In terms of scope it has long embraced forms of music other than jazz, attracting high-calibre artists from nearly every field, who come together to celebrate a broad range of styles. The Montreux Jazz Festival today stands for musical quality and variety and a multicultural atmosphere. Some 220,000 visitors from all over the world attend the festival each year, experiencing passionate artistry, which is complemented by the many free performances taking place along the shore of Lake Geneva. SWISS is pleased to be a long-time supporter of the festival, providing air transport in its role of Official Carrier |
