2011/12 season
Jazz
Jazz is a crucial, modern and exciting genre and as such we believe it fully deserves a place in our programme. Since last season, Bayer Arts & Culture has therefore staged occasional jazz concerts, which have proved a resounding success.
The events held in cooperation with the Leverkusen Jazz Days and the concert with the WDR Big Band under its conductor Michael Abene were both enthusiastically received. Particularly gratifying, however, was the instant success of our new series Jazz at midnight. It has everything an audience wants: a buzzing, jazz-club-like atmosphere in the converted Studio, a classy drinks menu and most of all an appealing programme with young bands from all over Germany. The series also features some of the prize-winning ensembles from the future sounds competition held as part of the Jazz Days, which could also basically be seen as a stART project. We are extremely grateful to Eckhard Meszelinsky, the director of the Leverkusen Jazz Days, for his support both here and with one of the top acts in the main programme.
