The Jakob Manz Project live in Sonneberg

Experience The Jakob Manz Project live on November 13th

The Jakob Manz Project will perform at Gesellschaftshaus Sonneberg in Sonneberg, Germany on November 13, 2026. The ensemble, led by Jakob Manz, is recognized for its innovative approach to vocal music, blending elements of jazz harmony, close harmony singing traditions – particularly those of Swingle Singers and King’s Singers – and contemporary classical composition. Their repertoire often features original arrangements of both classical pieces and popular songs, emphasizing complex vocal textures and rhythmic precision.

Gesellschaftshaus Sonneberg holds significant cultural importance within the region. Originally constructed in 1900 as a Kurhaus (spa house) during the height of Sonneberg’s popularity as a resort town, it served as a social hub for visitors and residents alike. Throughout its history, the building has hosted diverse events including concerts, balls, and theatrical performances. Notably, it became closely associated with the renowned German toy industry due to Sonneberg’s historical status as a major toy manufacturing center; industrialists frequently used the hall for company gatherings. Following periods of disuse and renovation, Gesellschaftshaus Sonneberg continues to function as a venue for cultural events and celebrations today.
