SWR Big Band live in Kassel

Experience SWR Big Band live on May 21st

SWR Big Band will perform at Kongress-Palais/Stadthalle Kassel on May 21, 2027. The SWR Big Band is a German big band radio orchestra, part of the Südwestrundfunk (SWR) broadcasting corporation. Their musical style encompasses a broad range, from traditional big band repertoire rooted in swing and jazz standards to contemporary compositions and collaborations with artists across diverse genres including pop, rock, and world music. They are known for high-quality arrangements and performances featuring both established and emerging talents.

Kongress-Palais/Stadthalle Kassel is a significant multi-purpose venue in central Germany. Originally opened in 1913 as the Stadthalle Kassel, it underwent extensive renovation and expansion in the late 1980s, resulting in its current configuration combining the historical Stadthalle with a modern congress center – hence the dual name. The venue hosts a variety of events including concerts, congresses, trade fairs, and theatrical performances. Its architectural design reflects both its early 20th-century origins and contemporary additions, offering flexible spaces for different event formats.
