2012/13 season
Jazz
Jazz is a crucial, modern and exciting musical genre and as such we believe it fully deserves a place in the Bayer Arts & Culture programme. The success of our concerts confirms this:
We are therefore once again staging jazz concerts featuring young ensembles and the WDR Big Band, and we are also continuing our cooperation with the Leverkusen Jazz Days by inviting the two prize-winning combos from 2011, Azulcielo and Mo’ Blow, to appear in our Jazz in the Kulisse and Jazz at midnight series respectively.
We are delighted that Jazz at midnight has proved so popular. 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.

33rd Leverkusen Jazz Days
Like the Mariza concert in 2010, the Legends in concert in 2011 with Randy Crawford and Joe Sample, Eumir Deodato and the Achim Seifert Project was a huge success, and so it goes without saying that Bayer Arts & Culture will be continuing its cooperation with the Leverkusen Jazz Days in 2012. The date and the name of the artist(s) were not known at the time of going to press, but we can be sure that Eckhardt Meszelinsky, the artistic director of the Jazz Days, will come up with a top-class, varied and exciting programme for what will be the 33rd festival. The cooperation between the future sounds competition and the stART programme will of course also be continued.
