NDR Bigband is a German big band renowned for its diverse repertoire spanning jazz, swing, Latin, funk, and contemporary compositions. Frequently collaborating with international artists across genres, the band is known for both faithful interpretations of classic big band arrangements and innovative original works. Established in 1948, it holds a prominent position within Germany’s public broadcasting system, Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).

The concert on November 27, 2026 will be held at the NDR Landesfunkhaus Hannover. This building serves as a significant broadcasting centre for NDR and has a history dating back to the post-war reconstruction period. Originally opened in 1955, the Landesfunkhaus Hannover was designed to be a modern media facility and quickly became a central hub for radio and television production in Lower Saxony. Its architecture reflects the functionalist style prevalent at the time, though it has undergone renovations over the years.

The building houses multiple studios used for music recording and broadcast, alongside administrative offices. The main concert hall within the Landesfunkhaus frequently hosts performances by NDR Bigband and other musical ensembles, leveraging its acoustic qualities designed specifically for audio production. It represents an important cultural venue within Hanover.
