After its successful former editions, JazzAscona has decided to confirm the GROOVIN’ UP project, supporting and promoting young artists and professionals.

The bands will have the opportunity to perform on one of the main stages and will be able to participate at jam sessions concerts and interactions with the numerous internationally experienced musicians who will be in Ascona during the 10 days of the festival. 

But that's not all, the invited bands will benefit from media coverage with interviews and professionally produced videos by CISA students (Conservatorio Internazionale di Scienze Audiovisive), to enhance their EPK with content of great value. 

If you are between 18 and 25 years old (average age of bands < 26) and feel ready to perform at a major festival, send us a link with a live performance, the technical quality as well as location of the video are not relevant (you can film yourselves with your mobile phone in your rehearsal room!).
