Booking Information

The Hotel Ascona Swing Festival, hosted in the beautiful four star Hotel Ascona, is the only festival dedicated to the swing music of the 1930's and 1940's. For this event Frank Roberscheuten has invited a group of excellent musicians specialized in playing this particular style of jazz.

The sixth edition of this event presents Paolo Alderighi, Dan Barrett, Martin Breinschmid, Henning Gailing, Shaunette Hildabrand, Chris Hopkins, Attila Korb, Bernd Lhotzky, Rolf Marx, Oliver Mewes, Nicki Parrott, Randy Reinhard, Frank Roberscheuten, Rossano Sportiello, Stephanie Trick and Engelbert Wrobel for a total of nineteen diverse concerts in ten days.

Situated on the mountain overlooking the city of Ascona and the famous Lago Maggiore, Hotel Ascona is the perfect location for our Swing Festival. The balconies extending from the fully equiped rooms offer a breathtaking view. And the kitchen guarantees culinary satisfaction while enjoying music in a “unplugged” setting.
