The Benjamin Koppel Jazz Gala celebrates Aretha Franklin as they return to the Bremen Theatre!
With immortal classics like “You make me feel like a natural woman”, “Think”, “Chain of Fools” and “Respect”, the legend, who sadly left us in 2018, has moved and thrilled fans worldwide. Singers Patrick Dorgan, Karen Mukupa and Marie Carmen Koppel take the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride of the greats, from goosebump-inducing fervor to uplifting party atmosphere, when the Benjamin Koppel Jazz Galla dives into The Queen of Soul’s vast song catalog.

Since the Jazz Galla’s first concert during Summer Jazz 2013, the ensemble has toured Denmark to full and enthusiastic houses. On stage, the soloists are musically supported by saxophonist and bandleader Benjamin Koppel, who leads a team of excellent and internationally recognized top jazz musicians; Anders Rose on piano, superb bassist Jesper Bodilsen and Swedish drum wizard Zoltan Csörsz. Time and again, Jazz Galla has managed to rearrange, interpret and renew popular classics with a jazzy twist – and this time will be no exception.
