Jazz(er)leben in Landshut: Two days full of groove, exchange, and musical discoveries

The Jazz(er)leben Workshop brings together international musicians and jazz enthusiasts on October 17 and 18, 2026, at the Municipal Music School in Landshut. The focus is on making music together, personal impulses, and the immediate live atmosphere of a hands-on jazz workshop.

International sound colors meet local jazz expertise

With Ari Bragi Kárasson on trumpet from Reykjavik, Darren Denman on piano from New York, Dave Juarez on guitar from Brooklyn, and Max Serra on bass from Luxembourg, the workshop gathers diverse musical perspectives. Martin Seiler on saxophone and Stephan Treutter on drums from Freising complement the teaching team.

The line-up allows for versatile orchestration, precise synchronization, and direct dialogue between brass instruments, piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Jazz is experienced not just as a style but as a vibrant language of listening and reacting.

Improvisation, sound, and stage performance

The workshop is aimed at anyone who enjoys playing jazz. There are no minimum requirements. This makes the offer open to beginners and experienced musicians who want to expand their musical expressiveness.

The centerpiece is practical work on the instrument, personal sound, and ensemble playing. Between the rhythm section, harmonic accompaniment, and improvised lines, a concentrated working atmosphere arises where musical ideas become immediately audible. Knowledge of English offers advantages for conversations with the international musicians.

A concert experience to participate in

Jazz thrives on movement, tension, and the moment. This energy shapes the workshop: acoustics, dynamics, and audience mood arise from the active interaction of participants. Every impulse can take a new turn, and every phrase can spark the next musical dialogue.

The Municipal Music School Landshut provides a fitting setting for this. The workshop combines musical training with meeting opportunities and makes professional stage performance, conducting, sound, and ensemble communication experienceable up close.

Conclusion: Not just listening to jazz but shaping it yourself

The Jazz(er)leben Workshop promises two intensive days with international instructors, new sound ideas, and immediate musical practice. Anyone who loves jazz, plays an instrument, and is eager for exchange and improvisation will experience an inspiring concert experience in Landshut, away from conventional concert formats. The participation fee is 38 euros. Get informed and register now.
