Future of the Stans Music Days secured
The renovation of the Stanser Musiktage association has been successfully completed. This means that nothing stands in the way of the 2016 festival, the organizers write. This year's edition had to be canceled for financial reasons.
Last December, the board of the Stanser Musiktage association decided to pause the festival in 2015 due to the financial situation, according to the event's website. Instead, a successful two-day charity event took place.
In recent months, the Board of Directors, with the help of an external specialist, has been able to raise funds of around CHF 250,000 to achieve the renovation goal. The donors include private donors, the canton of Nidwalden and the municipality of Stans.
Esther Unternährer and Marc Rambold are the new co-festival directors. Lucerne jazz musician Marc Unternährer is the new program director on a mandate basis. The Stanser Musiktage 2016 will take place from Tuesday, April 5 to Sunday, April 10.
The village square becomes the new festival center with bars and a live stage. The food on offer will be centralized on the Steinmättli. As usual, the program in the various venues in Stans will be characterized by stylistic openness - world, jazz and pop sounds will come together.
