Jakob Manz live in Wiesbaden

Experience Jakob Manz live on August 21st

Jakob Manz, a German composer and multi-instrumentalist, will perform at Museum Reinhard Ernst in Wiesbaden on August 21, 2026. Manz’s musical style is often described as a blend of contemporary classical, minimal music, and elements of jazz and improvisation. He frequently incorporates acoustic instruments – particularly stringed instruments like the guitar and piano – alongside electronic soundscapes, creating layered and atmospheric compositions. His work often explores themes of nature, space, and emotional resonance.

Museum Reinhard Ernst is a privately owned museum housed in a historically significant villa built in 1897 for the industrialist Reinhard Ernst. The collection focuses primarily on 19th and early 20th-century painting, sculpture, and decorative arts, with a particular emphasis on German Impressionism and early Expressionism. The museum’s holdings include works by artists such as Max Liebermann, Lovis Corinth, and Karl Hagemeister. The building itself is notable for its well-preserved Art Nouveau architecture and its garden designed in the English landscape style. It opened to the public in 1993 after extensive renovations aimed at restoring the villa to its original grandeur while adapting it for museum use.
