The YOUNG STAGE Band

ÄL JAWALA – Arabic for “the wanderers” are exceptional musicians, on the road in terms of Balkan brass and hot beats. The Äl Jawala message is clear: “We are one, everyone belongs together, so dance together. Diversity is richness, let’s celebrate it.”

With this attitude, the band is a perfect fit for YOUNG STAGE and has been thrilling audiences for several years now!

Nobody can do it better! Nadine Imboden is also on board this year and is – together with the artistic director – responsible for the direction of the shows. Together with Dimitri Lavrynenko, Nadine is also responsible for the choreography.

Our special guests: Gospelchor am Münster

The Basel singers are internationally known and maintain a lively exchange with other choirs and cultures. This is evidenced by various concert tours which have recently taken the choir to South Africa, Belgium, northern Macedonia and Kosovo. The locals are also present on the big stages of their home country. We are looking forward to the participation of the Gospel Chor am Münster in the YOUNG STAGE Festival 2023! Let them surprise you!
