As every year, the city of Coutances pays tribute to all the components of this musical aesthetic thanks to the remarkable work of its director, Denis Le Bas, its teams and all the volunteers of the Jazz sous les Pommiers festival.
JSLP 2024: an exceptional edition
The 2024 edition offers a rare and eclectic program around the great master of jazz piano Brad Mehldau but also André Manoukian, who, for his first visit under the apple trees, will be surrounded by the Balkan ensemble and singer Dafné Kritharas.

In addition, the festival is also an opportunity to discover the creations of artists in residence at the Municipal Theatre of Coutances: MYA by Robinson Koury and Oizel by Marion Rampal.
In addition, Jazz sous les Pommiers is committed to carrying out strong cultural actions for all and closer to the citizens, through shows, musical wanderings, free concerts throughout the territory in connection with the many territorial actors.
Surprise 2024
And like the festival, JSLP particularly likes to surprise its festival-goers by regularly offering them unusual forms: Jazz & cuisine, Battle de jazz, concert at the beach, Jazz & perfumes, Jazz & bicycles, concert-promenade … This year, the little extra takes the form of two surprises concocted especially for this 43rd edition with the help of two accomplices surprises in two surprise places! It will be performances and small formations, each in an intimate and heritage place of Coutances kept secret. Unique and precious moments in a small group, let yourself be tempted… : PILE… 14h and 17h, appointment place Georges-Leclerc/ or FACE! 14h and 17h, appointment place de la poissonnerie (reservation required!!)
Identified in 2023 as a pole of reference, the festival Jazz sous les pommiers and the Municipal Theatre of Coutances, stage conventioned «art and creation» by the Ministry of Culture, once again propose an artistic and cultural project remarkable for its ambition and requirement, promising eight days of musical rejoicing and wonder.
