Dear moersians at heart,

"Which city can say of itself to be the host of a world class festival?", John-Dennis Renken, improvisier in residence 2017, asked the audience. The audiences exultation four years ago gave the answer: Moers does! For half a century moers festival has been reflecting the crème of international jazz and avant garde.  The response from press and audience is increasing every year: reviews and media coverage from Japan and the USA, on the german evening news "Tagesschau" and in addition commentaries from fans in Congo, South Korea, Myanmar….

Even though the 49th festival edition in times of Corona was very special, moers festival celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2021! We want to use the comprehensive media coverage to gain even more outreach of recognition for the anniversary. We want to show: Moers is proud of its festival and proud of 50 years of festival history.

Be proud of the festival just like us and become a part of it as ally, special agent, friend, accomplice, apologist, confessor or moersfriend.
