Benefizkonzert des Bundespräsidenten mit der SWR Big Band, Max Mutzke, Fola Dada

The "BenefitConcert of the Federal President"
The "Benefit Concert of the Federal President" will take place on May 24 as part of the SWR Summer Festival, with the Federal President and Elke Büdenbender taking part in person. Since 2006, this series of concerts has been held in turn in the federal states. The benefit proceeds are used to support social or cultural causes. The proceeds from the 2026 charity concert will be donated to the children's foundation Die Arche and Herzenssache e. V., which will use them for projects for disadvantaged children and young people.

Swing, soul and jazz in the open air
The renowned SWR Big Band is at the heart of the concert. It is supported by Max Mutzke, who has worked with the band for many years, most recently on the joint tour "Soul viel mehr". Fola Dada completes the line-up with great vocal power. Reutlingen saxophonist Jakob Manz and jazz trumpeter Joo Kraus from Ulm are also part of the line-up. The Swedish jazz musician Magnus Lindgren is the musical director. The event will be hosted by Siham El-Maimouni.
