    Concert & Jam Session

    To round off the day in style, we'll be hosting a jam session, preceded by an opening concert in collaboration with Music. A jam session is a special occasion where musicians gather to play together in an improvised way, without necessarily having planned in advance what they're going to play. This event allows artists from diverse backgrounds and musical styles to meet, explore new ideas and create spontaneous music in a friendly, collaborative atmosphere.

    Musical is the AGEPoly commission dedicated to promoting music on the EPFL campus.
