Cosmo Jazz in Chamonix

A festival conceived and orchestrated by André Manoukian every year in Chamonix.

Aiguille du Midi Chamonix

Cosmo Jazz is an opportunity to swing to the melodies of other continents at the foot of Mont Blanc.
The event will take place throughout the Mont Blanc valley, in Chamonix, in the villages and in the heights. Enchanting sites such as the Emosson dam, the Loriaz mountain pasture, the Montenvers, the Grands Montets, the Argentière glacier, the Brévent and the Tour will be the backdrops for the many concerts planned.

For one week, the heart of Chamonix and the whole valley will beat to the rhythm of drums, bass, trumpets, saxophone and other instruments of all kinds.
You'll discover the multitude of jazz styles that exist through original and passionate artists.
