The story

Bezau Beatz in Bezau

Bezau Beatz is an early-August jazz and improvised music festival in the Bregenzerwald market town of Bezau, founded in 2008 by local drummer Alfred Vogel and now co-curated with percussionist Valentin Schuster. Concerts unfold across a striking mix of venues, including a historic railway depot, a working art forge, the parish church of St. Jodok, and a mountainside panorama restaurant.

Bezau Beatz was started in 2008 by drummer Alfred Vogel, a native of the Bregenzerwald market town of Bezau who built the festival around jazz and improvised music in a region with little prior connection to that world.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Bezau Beatz turns an entire small town into festival infrastructure by staging concerts in a working art forge, a historic narrow-gauge railway depot, a centuries-old parish church, and a mountainside restaurant, giving each performance a distinct acoustic and visual setting rather than repeating a standard stage

02

The mystery stays covered

Founder Alfred Vogel, a professional drummer from Bezau itself, curates the program from inside the improvised-music world rather than as an outside promoter, which shows in programming that favors risk-taking and cross-genre encounter over safe, predictable sets

03

The city starts moving

That combination of hometown roots and adventurous booking has built an outsized reputation on the European jazz circuit for a market town of only a few thousand people
