50 Jahre IG JAZZ
- Location:
- Theaterhaus, Siemensstr. 11, 70469 Stuttgart
The IG Jazz Orchestra teams up with composers Gee Hye Lee and Lukas Wögler.
Lukas Wögler
Stuttgart-based musician Lukas Wögler moves between jazz tradition and open-ended sound exploration. In his compositions and saxophone playing, he explores vast emotional spaces.
Wögler’s songs are intimate, calm, and free.
Authenticity and the unique voice of each musician take center stage.
For the IG Jazz Orchestra, Wögler is arranging and composing a unique program, drawing from his own compositions and the sounds of big bands.
Orchestral, meditative, and innovative.
Gee Hye Lee
A special evening lies ahead: This year, IG Jazz Stuttgart is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and pianist and composer Gee Hye Lee is marking her 30th anniversary on stage. A double cause for joy and gratitude.
For this concert, she has composed and arranged new works for the IG Jazz Orchestra, created specifically for this special moment. These pieces reflect her musical journey, her encounters, and the diverse inspirations that have shaped her artistic work.
With deep gratitude, she is shaping this evening together with outstanding musicians from her adopted home of Stuttgart. The city has long since become an artistic home for her—a place of vibrant encounters and creative inspiration.
This concert is not only a retrospective on 30 years of musical creativity but also a look ahead to future paths. An evening that connects the past and the future—one she wishes to share with her audience.
