Jazz und Weltmusik im Hofgarten
Jazz and world music for everyone!
Four open-air concerts at the music pavilion between the theatre and Schloss Jägerhof. The traditional series has been running since 1978 and in the 47th year of the format, which is known far beyond the city limits, the name still says it all: the selection of bands once again thrives on the exciting variety between contemporary jazz and musical excursions into exciting musical cultures.

Rousing melodies and profound lyrics take the audience on emotional rollercoaster rides. Supported by high-calibre musicians such as Raimund Kroboth, the former bandleader of the Schäl Sick Brass Band, they offer an impressive overall musical experience that encourages dancing, celebrating and reflection. The music: a tribute to the beauty and diversity of the world.
Henk Kraaijeveld Band
Henk Kraaijeveld combines captivating music with poetic lyrics and surprising improvisation. The award-winning Dutch singer enchants his audience with his warm voice and his natural joy of playing on stage. For Kraaijeveld, the narrative power of music is essential, as it connects people with themselves and their surroundings. "I am fascinated by our human need to show vulnerability and to be loved as authentic beings with all our possibilities and flaws. This is reflected in many current social developments. I always try to refer to this in my music and my lyrics. You can hear that on the new album 'Patches of Sky'."
Critics have praised "Patches of Sky" as an important milestone for Kraaijeveld, putting him in the same league as jazz greats such as Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling. The album offers a musical freshness that opens up new horizons and impresses with both its original compositions and its outstanding performance.
