NDR Bigband is a German big band radio orchestra, renowned for its diverse repertoire spanning jazz, swing, Latin, funk, and contemporary compositions. Frequently collaborating with international artists across genres, the ensemble is known for high-quality arrangements and improvisational skill. Established in 1948, it’s one of Germany’s leading big bands and maintains a significant presence in broadcast and concert performance.

The concert on September 27, 2026 will take place at the Großer Sendesaal (Great Broadcasting Hall) in Hanover. This venue is located within the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) broadcasting center. Originally constructed between 1950 and 1953 as part of the post-war reconstruction of broadcasting facilities, the Großer Sendesaal was designed with a focus on acoustic excellence to accommodate radio broadcasts and live performances.

Architecturally notable for its functionalist style, it has undergone several renovations to maintain its status as a premier concert hall. The hall's acoustics are highly regarded, making it suitable for a wide range of musical genres including orchestral works, chamber music and large ensemble performances like those presented by NDR Bigband.
