Jazz à Commercy

Jazz à Commercy: Live Jazz in the Meuse Region

Jazz à Commercy is a festival that makes the 'city of madeleines' vibrate to the rhythm of jazz. Every March, the Cinéma François Truffaut in Commercy transforms into a jazz stage to host talented musicians celebrating all facets of this music: lyrical, electric, and collective jazz.

Three Events, Three Atmospheres

The festival is structured around three highlights spread over a weekend:

• Friday evening: An intimate evening with acoustic ensembles and piano-voice duos, enriched by prestigious guests on flugelhorn and trumpet.
• Saturday evening: An electric evening with sextets and ensembles exploring the boundaries of contemporary jazz, blending electric and eclectic sounds.
• Sunday afternoon: A grand collective concert featuring three big bands from the region's conservatories and music schools (Metz, Vittel, Commercy), for a festive and generous finale.

Renowned Artists

The festival has notably hosted Stéphane Belmondo on flugelhorn and trumpet, alongside local and regional duos and ensembles. The programming showcases both nationally renowned professional musicians and emerging talents from the conservatories of the Grand Est region.

Commercy, City of Culture and Heritage

Commercy, a sub-prefecture of the Meuse department, is famous for its madeleines and its Château Stanislas. The Jazz à Commercy festival is part of the cultural dynamism of this distinctive town, offering music lovers a quality event in a remarkable heritage setting.

An Accessible Festival

With ticket prices ranging from 2 to 25 euros, Jazz à Commercy aims to be accessible to as many people as possible. The festival encourages the discovery of jazz and encounters between professional musicians, amateurs, and the public in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
