SG's Special guest
Studium Generale is also contributing to the lineup, and proudly presents: Antonin Jaccard.
For Antonin (22), music is more than a passion; it is a way to touch people, to embrace the unexpected, and to rediscover himself time and again. Having grown up as a classical percussionist, he found a new sense of freedom in jazz. The vibraphone became his voice, and it led him to the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, a place renowned for its excellent facilities and instructors for this unique instrument.
In recent years, Antonin discovered an important musical truth: music isn’t about showing off what you can do, but about sharing something genuine with the audience. Whether he’s playing solo or with his band, he takes listeners on a journey that can surprise and move them.
Last year he won the Conservatory Talent Award. Five years from now? He doesn’t know exactly where he’ll be—but he wants to keep growing, exploring new paths, and being surrounded by inspiring musicians. What’s certain is that he’ll keep making music
Together with the student jazz band Confusion, he will close the festival on the main stage between 20:00 - 21:00, performing pieces from his own repertoire.
