The Abbaye de Neumunster (neimënster) has confirmed that the 8th edition of the RESET jazz residency and festival will take place from Sunday 19 to Sunday 26 January 2025 in its premises in Luxembourg-Grund.
This 8th edition will be curated by composer and vibraphonist Pascal Schumacher: he has imagined a sharp and ambitious programme to make this event an unmissable event for music lovers at the beginning of the year.
To carry out this project, rising stars and established jazz figures from Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland and Norway have been invited to share a residency of several days on the neimënster site, accompanied by Luxembourgish drummer Paul Wiltgen.
The result of their work sessions will be presented during three exceptional evenings, each presenting a different facet of the contemporary European jazz music scene, including a residency closing concert that will bring together all the participants on the neimënster stage.
RESET comprises four women and four men from different backgrounds, brought together to share a residency at neimënster.
The full line-up for this 2025 edition comprises:
- Paul Wiltgen (Luxembourg) - drums
- Jorik Bergman (Netherlands) - flute
- Édouard Ferlet (France) - piano
- Oddrun Lilja Jonsdottir (Norway) - guitar
- Nicolas Kummert (Belgium) - saxophone
