For several days each spring, the Europajazz returns to its birthplace, the Royal Abbey of Epau, for the “Final”. It’s à true “laboratory”, as the historical matrix of the festival, this place constitutes a field of experimentation conducive to encounters. of the most original musicals. Thanks to a daring policy of “creations”, Europajazz also knows how to discover new trends, invite emerging groups from all over Europe or the most imaginative American figures.
“Impeccable militant will, proof of the possible through music. A project, Vilar en jazz and jazz stripped of its stereotypes” wrote Francis Marmande in Le Monde about Europajazz.
