This ‘guest performance’ in Trentino has become somewhat of a tradition, with the Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige travelling yet again to the Cimbrian language community in Luserna this year. The band, a cross-border project supported by the Europaregion Tyrol, features musicians from South Tyrol, Trentino, and the Tyrol region. The thematic arc of the concerts focuses on ‘borders’, which are of particular relevance in Tyrol, especially when considering the current migrant crisis. The concert includes multilingual texts read out loud by speakers and compositions which were specifically developed for the event itself, thus embodying the true spirit of the festival. Even the location is unique: the Euregio Collective will perform at the newly restored Forte Campo Luserna, an ancient military border fortress, whose grand reopening will coincide with the musical performance.
