hr-Bigband live in Frankfurt

Experience hr-Bigband live on October 23rd

hr-Bigband is a German big band renowned for its diverse repertoire spanning traditional big band swing, modern jazz compositions, and collaborations across various genres including funk, pop, and classical music. Established in 1963, the ensemble maintains a commitment to both preserving the big band tradition and exploring innovative musical territories. They frequently commission new works and showcase both established and emerging artists.

The concert will take place at the Großer Sendesaal (Great Broadcasting Hall) of Hessischer Rundfunk (Hessian Broadcasting Corporation) in Frankfurt. Opened in 1956, the hall was specifically designed for radio broadcasting but quickly became a significant concert venue due to its exceptional acoustics. Its architectural style reflects post-war modernism, prioritizing functionality alongside aesthetic considerations. The hall has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed musicians and ensembles across a broad spectrum of musical disciplines.

The Großer Sendesaal underwent extensive renovation between 2017-2019 to modernize its technical capabilities while preserving its original acoustic qualities. It remains a central hub for live music performance and broadcast within the region, known for providing an intimate yet grand setting for musical events.
