The Creative Jazz Clinic Velenje is back for its 11th edition and once again setting the bar high. Taking place 23–28 February 2026 in Velenje, Slovenia, CJCV promises a full week of deep musical exchange, learning, and creative risk-taking.
Known for its intimate atmosphere and top-tier international faculty, the clinic brings together emerging musicians and established artists for workshops, masterclasses, jam sessions, and concerts. Participants don’t just study jazz here—they live it, culminating in a powerful final concert featuring active attendees.
Since its founding, Pukl’s vision has been clear: create a space where creativity, individuality, and collaboration come first. The 2026 edition continues that tradition, welcoming a new generation of jazz voices to one of Europe’s most respected educational jazz gatherings.
Whether you’re an active participant or an inspired listener, Velenje will once again become a hub of forward-thinking jazz this winter.
The 2026 edition brings together internationally respected artists:
