Julia Hülsmann Octet live in Augsburg

Experience Julia Hülsmann Octet live on August 5th

Julia Hülsmann Octet will perform at the Botanischer Garten in Augsburg on August 5th, 2026. The ensemble, led by pianist and composer Julia Hülsmann, is recognized for its distinctive blend of modern jazz, chamber music, and elements of Scandinavian folk music. Their compositions often feature spacious arrangements, intricate interplay between instruments, and a focus on melodic development rather than virtuosic display. Hülsmann’s work frequently draws inspiration from nature and explores themes of transience and atmosphere.

The Botanischer Garten Augsburg dates back to 1903, originally established as a horticultural exhibition area linked to the Landesausstellung Bayern. It evolved into a public garden in 1912 and underwent significant restructuring in the 1980s. Today, the garden covers approximately 2.5 hectares and showcases diverse plant collections including themed areas like a medicinal herb garden, a perennial garden, and a systematic collection representing various plant families. Its layout incorporates both formal garden designs alongside more naturalistic plantings. The garden serves as both a recreational space for the public and a scientific resource for botanical study within the city of Augsburg.
