About Avanzert

Concert discovery for music that pushes boundaries

We bring jazz, classical, electronic, and rock concerts together from hundreds of sources into one place, with the context, personalization, and alerts that mainstream ticket sites never gave the music we love.

Why we built it

Avanzert began with a simple frustration: the concerts we cared about most were the hardest to find. Mainstream ticket sites are built for arena tours, not for a jazz trio in a small hall or the premiere of a new classical work. Keeping track of them meant trawling dozens of label sites and venue calendars, each with its own format and no real search.

So we built the platform we wanted to use: one place that gathers boundary-pushing concerts and makes them genuinely searchable. The name says it: Avanzert fuses avant-garde with Konzert, the German word for concert.

What we stand for

A focused platform for a focused audience: genuine music enthusiasts who want more than a listings page.

Depth over breadth

We go deep on jazz, classical, electronic, and rock rather than chasing every mainstream tour. The niche gets the coverage it deserves.

Context, not just listings

Every concert comes with the background that helps you decide: the artists, the venue, and where to find tickets, not just a date and a name.

Built around you

Follow the artists you love, tune your feed by genre and location, and get alerts the moment new concerts are announced.

Ole, founder of Avanzert

The founder

Meet Ole

I'm Ole, and I built Avanzert. I grew up in Hamburg and fell for jazz as a teenager. It started with Miles Davis's Kind of Blue, moved on through Bill Evans, and opened into the whole world of ECM: Jan Garbarek, Keith Jarrett, and that entire aesthetic.

Back home after my studies, I finally got to see world-class musicians live, but I kept missing shows simply because they were so hard to keep track of. Avanzert is my answer to that: one place that pulls concert data from many sources, with a focus on the avant-garde, experimental, and niche, plus the search and alerts so you never miss a night that matters.

Thanks for being here. I hope it helps you find your next great concert.
