Experience Paolo Fresu live on November 9th

Paolo Fresu will perform at Bayer Erholungshaus in Leverkusen, Germany on November 9, 2026. Fresu is an Italian jazz trumpet and flugelhorn player known for his lyrical improvisation and blending of jazz with influences from Mediterranean folk music, particularly Sardinian traditions reflecting his origins. His work often incorporates elements of world music and contemporary composition, showcasing a distinctive sound characterized by both technical virtuosity and emotional depth. He frequently collaborates with musicians across diverse genres.

Bayer Erholungshaus is a cultural venue owned by Bayer AG, the pharmaceutical and life sciences company. Originally constructed in 1954-55 as a recreational facility for Bayer employees, it was designed by architect Karl Dušek. The building’s architecture represents post-war modernism, and it underwent extensive renovation and modernization between 2018 and 2020. While initially intended for employee leisure activities, it has evolved into a publicly accessible concert hall and event space hosting a variety of performances including classical music, jazz, and other genres. It's known for its good acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite its size – accommodating approximately 600 guests.
