At this Klosters Music Special, a diversified program of jazz is included for the first time. President Rolf Theiler explains: “The fundamental principle of Klosters Music has always been classical music. To be able to entertain a wider audience, we decided to introduce jazz this year, but would like to include other styles of music in future as well.”

Formed in 1993, Virtual Jazz Reality rates as one of the most versatile and experienced bands on the South African music scene.
