Groove, precision, and young jazz culture

The Groovemaker BigBand of the Municipal Singing and Music School Erlangen has been around since 1996 and works under the direction of Katja Heinrich-Schwindt with jazz-interested youth and adults. Arrangements are played in classical big band formation with rhythm section, five saxophones, and four trumpets and trombones each. This mix of discipline, joy of playing, and rich sound shapes the concert experience from the first phrase on.

The hall as a resonance space

The Große Saal in kubic accommodates up to 250 seats, is barrier-free accessible, air-conditioned, and particularly well-suited for music and speech thanks to acoustic panels. Additionally, there is a stage, cloakroom, sound system, and lighting technology that gives the evening a professional concert backdrop. For jazz, this means: precise orchestration, clear dynamics, and a space that transparently carries the brass axes and the drums forward. ([kubic.de](https://www.kubic.de/de/service))
