Experience SWR Big Band live on April 15th

The SWR Big Band will perform at the Metropol Theater Bremen on April 15, 2027. The SWR Big Band is a German big band radio orchestra, renowned for its diverse repertoire encompassing jazz standards, contemporary compositions, and collaborations with international artists. Historically rooted in post-war German broadcasting, the band has evolved into a highly respected ensemble known for its precision, dynamic arrangements and stylistic versatility – ranging from swing and Latin to funk and modern orchestral works.

The Metropol Theater Bremen opened in 1908 as the “Concert- und Varieté-Theater Bremen”, initially hosting variety shows and operettas. Throughout its history it underwent several transformations, including periods as a cinema and a revue theatre. Following extensive renovations in the 1980s, it was re-established as a multi-purpose event venue. Today, the Metropol Theater Bremen continues to host a wide range of performances including concerts, musicals, cabaret, and theatrical productions. The building itself is noted for its Art Nouveau architectural features and intimate atmosphere accommodating around 650 guests. It remains a significant cultural landmark within Bremen’s city centre.
