The opening ceremony of jazzahead! Trade Fair & Festival celebrates jazz from Germany! It will feature top German jazz stars such as Till Brönner and Dieter Ilg on stage, ask Prof. Daniel Martin Feige about the significance of jazz as a cultural asset and present a new generation of the local scene with the duo Silvan Strauß and Alex Eckert feat. Lisa Wulff. Romy Camerun and Marialy Pacheco will also provide a surprise moment by musically accompanying the farewell of the two artistic directors Uli Beckerhoff and Peter Schulze. Thus, the opening will be the starting point of a new jazzahead! era and a very special partner country year.
