Music
Both global stars and promising new talents
come to Basel to showcase their skills and
make their mark, however big or small it may
be. Catch them at one of Europe’s most
celebrated jazz clubs or in the concert halls of
the new Stadtcasino, just opened in 2020.
The incomparable acoustics in the new
concert halls make them a coveted stage for
orchestras from across the globe – but most
often they showcase the Kammerorchester
and Sinfonieorchester Basel.
Local’s Tip
At a late-summer open-air festival,
regional and international acts
come together on a floating stage
on the Rhine.
