In the Laurin Bar around the corner, All That Music means All That Jazz. For 20 years, every Friday from October to May. The international lineup is compiled by Michl Lösch and Helga Plankensteiner 

Premiers are the rule rather than the exception here, and many concerts are unique events which can only be experienced in this setting and in these South Tyrolean venues. The land becomes the stage, and jazz a part of the landscape. Musicians play in the towns and on the mountains, at lakes and rivers, in the squares and on the streets, in parks and castles, hotels and factory halls. 

Over 150 musicians from all corners of the Earth take part in the event, playing 90 concerts in over 50 different venues.

For more than 35 years, students and young people from South Tyrol and all of Italy, from German-speaking Europe, from Luxembourg, France, Spain and even from the USA, have been pouring into Bozen at the end of July. Here they are offered the opportunity to learn dance, develop their movement skills and see the works of some of the greatest international choreographers onstage.
