NDR Bigband live in Hanover

Experience NDR Bigband live on February 20th

NDR Bigband is a German big band renowned for its diverse repertoire encompassing jazz, swing, funk, and contemporary compositions. Frequently collaborating with international artists across genres, the ensemble is known for high-quality arrangements and improvisational skill. They maintain a strong commitment to both preserving big band tradition and pushing creative boundaries within the large ensemble format.

The concert will be held at the NDR Landesfunkhaus Hannover (North German Broadcasting House, Hanover). Completed in 1954, the Landesfunkhaus Hannover is a significant example of post-war German architecture, designed by architect Dieter Oesterlen. Originally built as a broadcasting center for Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR), now part of NDR, it served as a crucial hub for radio and television production in the region.

The building’s architectural style blends functional requirements with modernist aesthetics and has undergone renovations while retaining its historical character. It continues to function as a broadcasting center alongside hosting cultural events, including concerts by the NDR Bigband, utilizing its purpose-built studio spaces designed for optimal acoustic performance. The venue represents an important cultural landmark within Hanover and Lower Saxony.
