WG Bigband

The shared apartment is turning into a big band!

We’re turning the shared apartment’s bar into a jazz club!

Sixteen musicians from Cologne’s vibrant jazz scene have come together to dedicate this evening to the music they love. With a selection of classics from the big band repertoire—from Bill Holman to Sammy Nestico to Thad Jones—this young ensemble aims to create an atmosphere reminiscent of the club concerts that were commonplace during the heyday of the 20th-century big band era.

Come on by, enjoy your favorite drinks at the bar, and let the band’s enthusiasm sweep you away!
