Big Band Sound in the heart of Augsburg: A summer evening full of swing and energy
On Friday, June 26, 2026, the Zeughaus in Augsburg will transform into a venue for large-format jazz, precise orchestration, and a vibrant live atmosphere. The Jazzkapelle Augsburg, founded in 2023 by Jan Kiesewetter and Nico Weber, presents its growing repertoire with original compositions and arrangements tailored to the ensemble on stage. The concert starts at 8:00 PM and takes place in the Brunnenhof of the Zeughaus. ([webernico.de](https://webernico.de/jazzkapelle-augsburg/))
Large ensemble, fine details
When a big band listens to each other as closely as this formation, more than just a powerful sound body emerges. Saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and rhythm section intertwine, the synchronization is spot on, and from this interplay grows a sound that oscillates between controlled power and elegant lightness. This is where the fascination of this evening lies: Jazz not merely as a stylistic exercise, but as a physically palpable concert experience.

Young Augsburg Scene with its own handwriting
Jan Kiesewetter is rooted as a jazz musician and composer in Augsburg, while Nico Weber has been repeatedly recognized in the local scene for his trumpet playing and musical maturity. Together, they shape the Jazzkapelle Augsburg with a repertoire that focuses on original pieces and arrangements. The result: no retro copy, but an evening with profile, dynamism, and audible handwriting.

A place with history and summer character
The Zeughaus is one of the distinctive cultural sites in the city of Augsburg and provides a special setting for summer jazz concerts. Accessible by public transport; from the main train station, you can almost reach the door in the city zone, while parking options for cars in the city center are limited. The Brunnenhof is explicitly described as a successful setting for summer jazz concerts. ([kunstsammlungen-museen.augsburg.de](https://kunstsammlungen-museen.augsburg.de/anreise))
