Spend Mother's Day with your loved ones at the Safiental Embassy with an extended breakfast. You will be spoiled with homemade delicacies and specialties from the Safiental.

• Are there events or incisions in your life that have turned everything upside down?
• How did you deal with the fact that nothing was as you imagined?
• Have realignments, which were completely difficult for you at first, led you to unexpected experiences?

We are curious to hear which incisions in your life have required adaptation and realignment and how you have dealt with them.
In the storytelling café we meet in a small group and tell each other our experiences and thoughts. Nobody judges or judges, everyone is allowed to contribute. The other participants listen.

Direction and moderation: Cornelia Bischoff and Franziska Waldenmaier

Music Man Machine: Sound Interactions for Humanism!
The interaction between humans and machines has been a topic that concerns us not only since AI. In modern music production, the machine stands for absolute perfection and its operation is considered a high art. This is how fantastic sound works of art are created, but also inconsequential monotony.

The Soundwalker, Marc Jenny's self-developed electronic musical instrument, definitely does not have artificial intelligence, but it does have an artistic life of its own. Or to put it more simply, has programmed the complete overload. This makes the operation of the machine all the more an art – with everything that makes up art: unpredictability, courage, failure and moments of happiness. Zangger and Jenny get involved with the Soundwalker, play with and against the machine, create sounds at the edge of the universe.

Line-up: Anna Bläsi voc, Severin Felix gtr, Till Santschi db, Jason Nordemann dr

A slow jazz program - inspired by a workshop on musician Shirley Horn. The quartet interprets standards in the musical search for the slow pure magic that characterizes Shirley Horn. Horn was a talented jazz singer and pianist. She began her career in the 1950s and gained international recognition for her ability to put emotion into her music. Her playing on the piano was just as famous as her vocal technique, which was often characterized by slow, elegant rhythms. Her best-known albums include "You Won't Forget Me" and "I Thought About You".

Line-up: Saki Hatzigeorgiou gtr, Dave Maeder b, Rolf Caflisch dr

GolikeSco is intensively dedicated to the work of guitar virtuoso John Scofield. The trio knows how to interpret the funky guitar sounds of the guitar virtuoso as well as the playful grooves in their own, sophisticated way.

Scofield is one of the most important jazz guitarists in modern music history. With his unique blend of jazz, funk and rock, he has released numerous albums and collaborated with greats such as Miles Davis and Joe Lovano. He is particularly known for his unmistakable sound and innovative playing technique, which sets him apart from other guitarists.

Almut Kühne and Peter Conradin Zumthor heard each other at the Willisau Jazz Festival 2023 and were enthusiastic about each other. Now there is a first meeting with the Berlin singer and the drummer from Haldenstein in Chur. Unrehearsed, spontaneously, without knowing exactly what to expect from the other person, the two move musically towards each other with the greatest joy, hoping to create a common world for a short time that did not exist before and will never exist again afterwards.
