In early October 2026, several musical events were scheduled across Europe. In Switzerland, Ibrahim Maalouf was set to present a preview of his project ‘ADAGIO’ at the Montreux Jazz Club Millennium. In France, the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris announced registration dates for trumpet entrance exams, while other performances included a V.S.O.P. tribute in Marseille and a 20th-anniversary celebration by the Brass Band Loire Forez in Saint-Étienne.

By late October, the focus shifted to a series of jazz performances and festivals. Notable events included a ‘Trama Latina’ performance in Geneva and a John Coltrane tribute by the Dal Sasso Big Band in Hyères. Other scheduled activities featured hard bop sets in Lyon, a Louis Armstrong celebration in Brussels, and the opening of the 39th Conilhac‑Corbières Jazz Festival in France by guitarist Bireli Lagrène.
