Are You Syncopated?! 2023 - The Recap

This year, we kept on experimenting with the festival to offer something broad, like the art we are dedicated to promoting: Jazz! A short word for something so big and impactful. We hosted talks, workshops, dance tasters, and music workshops, all to broaden the scope of swing music and dance. Here's a small glimpse into these 4 days of Hot Jazz and Swing. Thursday featured top bands from the Syncopation Society, with The Ragtime Nightmare opening. Friday saw The Jungle Jazz Band with Olivier Franc on saxophone and The Big Five with Nicolle Rochelle. Dance workshops were led by Marie N'diaye and Felipe Braga, and music continued with the Kelvin Sholar Group leading a jam session. On Saturday, we had The Hot Nuts on a boat tour, a city walk, Olivier & Jean-Baptiste Franc, dance taster sessions, and engaging talks. The Syncopation Society Orchestra, with a special appearance by Niklas Bothe, performed, followed by DJ sets. Sunday started with a family program, including a Charlie Chaplin film brought to life by the music of Camille Phelep and Mark Kagan, followed by instrument-building workshops for kids. In the evening the Smile Trio's performance was a festival highlight and ended late with a last jam session. Thanks to everyone for joining us!
