Moods Carte Blanche

In 2019, the Moods Jazz Club launched the “Moods Carte Blanche” event series, replacing the previous “Artist in Residence” concert series. “Moods Carte Blanche” offers six selected artists the opportunity to realize their own projects—they are free to choose the venue, the timing, and the nature of the projects. As before, the Musicians’ Council—composed of six representatives from Zurich’s jazz scene—is responsible for selecting the six artists.For the 2026–2027 season, drummer Elmar Frey, singer Luca Koch, harpist Marina Mello, sound artist Aio Frei, pianist Matthieu Mazué, and drummer Arthur Hnatek can look forward to receiving the musical pass.What exactly can you expect? Let yourself be surprised. It's definitely worth a visit.
