hr-Bigband live in Frankfurt

Experience hr-Bigband live on October 14th

hr-Bigband, the big band of Hessischer Rundfunk (Hessian Broadcasting), performs a diverse repertoire rooted in jazz traditions but extending into contemporary compositions, funk, Latin American rhythms and collaborations across genres. The ensemble is known for its high musical standards and frequently features arrangements specifically tailored to the band’s instrumentation and individual musicians. They have a long history of working with internationally renowned artists and composers.

The concert will take place at Großer Sendesaal Des Hessischen Rundfunks (Hessian Broadcasting’s Great Broadcasting Hall) in Frankfurt. Opened in 1951, the hall was initially designed as a broadcasting studio but quickly became a respected concert venue due to its exceptional acoustics. Its architecture reflects post-war modernism, prioritizing functionality for radio broadcasts alongside performance needs. The hall underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s to further enhance its acoustic properties and technical capabilities while preserving its original character. It is considered one of Germany's premier venues for classical music, jazz, and other large-scale musical performances, regularly hosting both broadcast events and public concerts.
