Experience NDR Bigband live on June 13th

NDR Bigband is a German big band renowned for its diverse repertoire encompassing jazz, swing, Latin, funk, and contemporary compositions. Frequently collaborating with international guest artists, the ensemble 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 broadcasting landscape as part of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).

The concert will take place at the Ndr Landesfunkhaus Hannover, a significant broadcasting center and architectural landmark in Hanover. Completed in 1954, the building exemplifies post-war German architecture and served as a crucial hub for radio and television production in Lower Saxony. Designed by architect Dieter Oesterlen, its distinctive modernist style incorporates studio spaces alongside administrative offices.

Throughout its history, the Landesfunkhaus has hosted numerous live musical performances and recordings, solidifying its role as an important cultural venue. The building underwent extensive renovation in the early 2000s to modernize facilities while preserving its historical character. It continues to function as a working broadcasting center alongside hosting public events like this NDR Bigband concert.
