Description
The Baloise Session is a boutique music festival of a special kind. As an audience member, you sit with us in an exclusive feel-good ambience, at a candlelit club table, just like in the legendary former New York music clubs. And all this in the smallest capacity, with sensual intimacy and intoxicatingly close to music stars from all over the world. You will experience musical highlights with a different mix on every concert evening from the genres Rock, Pop, Soul, Jazz, World, Blues, Singer-Songwriter and much more. Each evening, two or three artists are presented who are linked in some way, giving them a common thread with which they can weave a story to thrill the audience throughout the evening.
The concerts are all recorded and are broadcasted on five continents in more than 140 countries. This means that the festival can be seen even in countries such as Japan, Argentina and China.
