Latin Jazz live in Dessau

Experience Latin Jazz live on September 14th

Latin Jazz is scheduled to perform at the Anhaltisches Theater in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany on September 14, 2026. The ensemble’s musical style blends the rhythmic complexity and improvisational elements of jazz with traditional Latin American musical forms, including son, salsa, bossa nova, and Afro-Cuban influences. Instrumentation typically features a combination of standard jazz instruments – saxophone, trumpet, piano, bass, drums – alongside Latin percussion like congas, timbales, and bongos. Their performances often showcase both original compositions and interpretations of classic Latin standards.

The Anhaltisches Theater holds a significant place in the cultural landscape of Dessau. Originally constructed in 1902 as the *Herzogliches Hoftheater* (Ducal Court Theatre), it was designed by architect Paul Baumgarten in the Neo-Baroque style. Throughout its history, the theater has hosted a diverse range of performances including opera, ballet, drama, concerts and variety shows. Heavily damaged during World War II, it underwent extensive reconstruction and reopened in 1947.
