Biréli Lagrène live in Erlangen

Experience Biréli Lagrène live on July 14th

Biréli Lagrène is scheduled to perform at Kulturinsel Wöhrmühle in Erlangen, Germany on July 14, 2026. Lagrène is a French-Romanian jazz guitarist renowned for his virtuosic technique and stylistic versatility. Initially gaining prominence for his remarkably convincing Django Reinhardt-inspired gypsy jazz playing in the 1980s – often referred to as “jazz manouche” – his musical explorations have broadened significantly to encompass mainstream jazz, fusion, and even classical influences. He frequently utilizes electric guitar alongside his acoustic work, showcasing improvisation and harmonic complexity.

Kulturinsel Wöhrmühle is a cultural venue situated on an island in the Main-Danube Canal within Erlangen. Originally an industrial site housing a flour mill (“Wöhrmühle” translates to Wöhr Mill), it underwent conversion beginning in the 1980s into a multifaceted cultural center. The complex now features concert halls, exhibition spaces, workshops, and outdoor areas used for events. It's known for hosting a diverse range of performances including jazz, world music, theatre and contemporary dance.
