Dear readers,
Harpist Julie Campiche ranks among Switzerland’s most innovative contemporary jazz musicians - very recently the Cultural Department of Switzerland rewarded her with a SWISS MUSIC PRIZE. She plays her instrument with sensitivity and power, creating a distinctive sonic signature in the European jazz scene.
A relentless innovator, Campiche employs a very personal technique and electronic effects. She performs solo, leads a critically acclaimed quartet and collaborates across genres—recently with baroque ensemble Capella Jenensis and 2023 winner of the Swiss Grand Award for Music Erik Truffaz. Her appearances at Montreux Jazz Festival, Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie and London’s Vortex Jazz Club have established her as an influential instrumentalist and composer on the European jazz scene.
In early 2026, Campiche will release her debut solo album UNSPOKEN: With her harp, electronic effects and voice, Julie pays tribute to women and feminine strength. Each composition is a musical portrait of a woman and gives unheard stories from the female perspective a new platform.
Meet us on the road?
20.06.25 CH-Geneva - Alhambra (Quartet)
06.07.25 CH-Zurich - Pavillon Le Corbusier (Solo)

13.08.25 FR-Mollans sur Ouvèze - Parfums de Jazz (Quartet)

I'm especially looking out for opportunities for Julie to play solo to accompany her release in early 2026. Venues or festival slots that provide a nice atmosphere & sound for solo instrumentalists who bring plenty of electronical equipment. On request we can provide a very unique video installation by/with designer Sophie le Meilour. We are very open for any double bill ideas!
Cheers
Tinka & Julie
