Experience Jakob Manz live on November 10th

Jakob Manz will perform at the Bayer Erholungshaus in Leverkusen, Germany on November 10, 2026. Manz is a German composer and instrumentalist known for blending elements of contemporary classical music with influences from jazz, folk, and electronic soundscapes. His compositions often feature extended techniques on stringed instruments – primarily the violin – and explore atmospheric textures alongside melodic development. He frequently incorporates improvisation into his performances and has released several albums to critical acclaim, often collaborating with artists across various genres.

The Bayer Erholungshaus is a significant cultural venue located in Leverkusen, originally constructed in 1954 as a recreational facility for employees of Bayer AG, the pharmaceutical company. Over time, it evolved into a prominent concert hall and event space. The building underwent extensive renovation and modernization between 2018-2020, enhancing its acoustic properties and technical capabilities while preserving its architectural heritage. It now hosts a diverse program including classical concerts, jazz performances, theatrical productions, and conferences. The hall is recognized for its intimate setting and high-quality sound, making it a favoured location for both established artists and emerging talents.
