In 2021, the Montreux Jazz Festival made its debut in China. This prestigious event, recognized worldwide as one of the most influential music festivals, is a product of an extraordinary partnership between Hangzhou and Switzerland's renowned city for music. Both cities' recognition as World Cultural Heritage Sites adds to this unparalleled collaboration with unrelenting vision and dedication on both sides combined with enthusiasm and hard work, making this joint venture more meaningful than ever.
Montreux Jazz Festival China will not simply bring music but also fresh ideals to the city of Hangzhou. These include culture, tourism, environmental protection, social welfare, healthcare, and education. Not only will the world's most talented musicians perform before a Chinese crowd, but the organizer is also making sure that these artists represent minority groups in Asia and disabled artists as well!
