The JazzHall Summer Festival will take place for the second time from July 13 to 19 - a week in July full of music, encounters and inspiration. The festival transforms the outdoor area of the JazzHall into a lively open-air stage: afternoon concerts, accompanied by a selection of food trucks, a lovingly designed children's program and the picturesque Alster backdrop, invite visitors of all ages to linger and enjoy.
The festival is organized by JazzHall gGmbH in close cooperation with the university's jazz studies program. The combination of student creativity and top-class guests makes the festival a special event for jazz lovers and anyone who wants to become one.
This year, visitors can look forward to a multifaceted program: the exceptional Swiss percussionist Julian Sartorius, artist in residence at this year's festival, will be performing in a wide variety of formations throughout the week.
Another highlight is the performance of the HfMT Bigband in an extraordinary crossover project with the Syrian singing legend Ibrahim Keivo and the Lebanese darabouka virtuoso Rony Barrak. The renowned Brazilian percussionist Kiko Freitas performs together with students of the HfMT. The JazzKombinat Hamburg interprets compositions by the newly graduated Jazz Master alumnus Lauri Kadalipp from Tallinn, while the two former HfMT students Hauke Renken and Clara Lucas will present their new album with a release concert during the festival.
The JazzHall Summer Festival is an expression of a lively, open music scene in which up-and-coming talent, experienced lecturers and international artists come together to bring musical visions to the stage. It impressively demonstrates how closely the JazzHall as a space is interwoven with the HfMT's jazz course: a creative center that promotes artistic diversity and musical exchange all year round.
