SWR Big Band - Heimspiel No.18
- Location:
- Phoenixhalle, Naststr. 43 - 45, 70376 Stuttgart
Pianist and keyboardist John Beasley from California is the musical mastermind in the first part of the 18th edition. His new program with the SWR Big Band is in a sense a tribute to the city of Stuttgart, which he has come to love since working with the SWR Big Band. Most of the pieces were written during his stays with the SWR Big Band in Stuttgart, inspired by visits to the Staatsgalerie. All in all, an exciting journey and a new view of the state capital from the perspective of one of the world's leading arrangers. Beasley has been nominated many times for a Grammy and has already won two coveted trophies for best arrangement, including for "Scrapple from the apple" from the SWR Big Band album "Bird Lives".
In the second part, that much is already clear, the surprise guest will take things in a completely different musical direction.
All of this in the familiar living room atmosphere of the Phoenixhalle in the Römerkastell in Stuttgart:
Saturday, February 28, and Sunday, March 01, 2026 - two perfect evenings for cosmopolitan music fans.
