A welcome guest at the Festspielhaus for years, Nils Landgren is one of the defining personalities of European jazz. For his 70th birthday and after 50 years on stage, he is fulfilling his long-cherished wish: performing concerts with a symphony orchestra. The arrangements are by Vince Mendoza, a Grammy-winning American composer and one of the most renowned orchestral arrangers of our time.

Nils Landgren

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden

Guest Concert

Alte Oper

Mr Red Horn turns 70 - and gives himself and his audience a present: Nils Landgren fulfils his heart's desire and organises a concert evening with a large classical orchestra. Composer Vince Mendoza has arranged the best songs from the career of the busy Swedish trombonist, composer, producer and singer for a live performance in a symphonic setting. A new sonic dimension emerges from the nucleus of the trio formation. Nils Landgren is already looking forward to the sonic experience: "The powerful embrace of a symphony orchestra is the greatest thing for a musician like me, who comes from a small village in Sweden. It's something I dreamed of as a young man, and I hope my experience will be yours too!

Cæcilie Norby's Christmas concerts in Montmartre have been a tradition for many years. Once again this year she is back with her star team consisting of some of the world's best musicians.

Cecilie Norby in Wonderland

Jazzhus Montmartre

The jazz queen Cæcilie Norby, the Grammy-nominated composer Peter Jensen, a top-tuned rhythm group and the Danish Entertainment Orchestra will at this concert recreate a bit of 'La Belle Époque' - the creative explosion that from Paris resonated all over the world, so that it can still be felt in day.
The audience can look forward to an experience of another world, where Cæcilie Norby returns to the atmosphere from parts of her award-winning Arabesque record with completely new compositions and lyrics. These were created with inspiration from works by, among others Ravel, Debussy and Satie, who during La Belle Époque – before the First World War hit – helped melodically and harmonically pave the way for what later became jazz and popular music.
