What is an orchestra? In the worst case, it’s like herding cats, in the best case, a goody bag full of hidden geniuses. One such genius is Libor Šíma, principal bassoonist of the SWR Symphonieorchester. In this Late Night, he shows his most colorful side: as a jazz saxophonist, composer, and arranger. With his own compositions and arrangements of international hits, he invites you to join his musical companions for an entertaining evening.

Late Night

The Baden-Baden Casino

Trumpet and accordion – it sounds unusual, but they actually go together perfectly. Just like Lucienne Renaudin Vary and Félicien Brut. Both effortlessly bridge the boundaries between classical, jazz, and pop, blending diverse soundscapes. They skillfully blend the music of their French homeland with global sounds, proving that the accordion is rightfully the instrument of the year 2026!

The trumpet is more versatile than almost any other musical instrument, and no one proves this better than the current artist in residence Matthias Höfs. In the first Wednesday concert of the season, he will span the spectrum from the sparkling virtuosity of baroque trumpet sounds to the tonal diversity of classical-romantic concertos and character pieces to the silky-smooth blue note sound of Gershwin's famous Summertime .
