SWR Big Band live in Stuttgart

Experience SWR Big Band live on May 25th

SWR Big Band, a prominent German big band orchestra affiliated with Südwestrundfunk (SWR), will perform at the Liederhalle Stuttgart on May 25, 2027. The band is known for its diverse repertoire encompassing traditional big band sounds – rooted in swing and jazz – alongside contemporary compositions and collaborations across genres like funk, Latin, and even classical music. They frequently commission new works and showcase arrangements by leading composers and arrangers.

Liederhalle Stuttgart is a significant concert and convention venue with a history dating back to 1896, though the current building complex largely reflects post-war reconstruction completed in 1965. Designed by architect Paul Bonatz (with later modifications), it’s renowned for its acoustics and architectural integration of art. The venue comprises several halls; the main concert hall, the Silbersaal, is particularly noted for its high-quality sound and elegant design featuring silver leaf detailing – hence the name “Silbersaal” (Silver Hall).

Throughout its existence, Liederhalle has hosted a wide range of performances including classical concerts, jazz events, and conferences. It continues to be an important cultural hub within Stuttgart and the Baden-Württemberg region.
