A summer evening that brings Augsburg to sound
When the Wolfgang Lackerschmid Quartet performs on August 12, 2026, at the Botanical Garden, finely crafted jazz meets one of the most atmospheric open-air settings in the city. The concert is part of the International Augsburg Jazz Summer and combines live atmosphere, anniversary moments, and musical class into a unique concert experience.
Jazz with character and a large stage
Since the 1970s, Wolfgang Lackerschmid has been one of the most notable vibraphonists and composers in Germany. With the duo album Ballads for Two alongside Chet Baker, he made early jazz history. To this day, his name stands for vibrant jazz: virtuosic, humorous, harmonically demanding, and melodically clearly defined.
A quartet with international drive
For this evening, Lackerschmid brings together a lineup that combines musical experience and fresh energy: Yotam Silberstein on guitar, Stefan Rademacher on bass, and Karl Latham on drums complete the quartet. The announced dramaturgy promises grooving passages, swinging lines, deep ballads, and exhilarating uptempo with precise synchronization and fine sound.
The Botanical Garden as a sonorous summer backdrop
The Botanical Garden Augsburg offers the ideal setting for an open-air concert with its green oasis of tranquility at the edge of the Siebentisch Forest. More than 3,000 plant species, the special location next to the zoo, and the relaxed garden atmosphere create an ambiance where music and nature work together directly. Those who arrive early will experience the walk to the pavilion as part of the evening.
Getting there, parking, and visiting on-site
The address is Dr.-Ziegenspeck-Weg 10 in 86161 Augsburg. Parking spaces are available in front of the entrance; in case of high demand, the city of Augsburg recommends alternative options at the Park-and-Ride lot at Spickelbad. Visitors can reach the garden via bus line 32 to Zoo/Botanical Garden or tram line 2 to Berufsschule with a subsequent walk through the Siebentisch Park.
