‘Unerhört!’ Festival 2026
25 years – unbelievable!
For a quarter of a century, the unerhört! Festival has been celebrating four letters that open doors and break down barriers: jazz. One word for many worlds. Let yourself be inspired by the imagination of unconventional music and its utopian power! From 20 to 29 November, the festival invites you to ten days of shared experiences in Zurich and Winterthur. A space for resonance, where diverse voices are heard: from Angel Bat Dawid from the USA to DoYeon Kim from Korea and Joachim Kühn from Germany, from the Bürgerasyl-Pfrundhaus to the Kunsthaus Zürich and the Rote Fabrik. Stay curious and alert!
