Music, Variety, and Governmental Support for Cultural Expression
The city of Marburg, in partnership with Jazz Initiative Marburg e.V. and the Jazz Association of Hesse, is set to host the 3rd Marburger Jazz Summer from September 11 to 14, 2025. This four-day event promises an international program that reflects the cultural diversity of Europe, featuring a lineup of talented musicians from across the continent and beyond.
The festivities kick off on Friday, September 12th, with German jazz and fusion guitarist Michael Sagmeister performing at 7:30 PM. At the same time, British percussionist and sound researcher Bex Burch will take the stage at KFZ. Lukas Akintaya, also known as Adeolu, will present his new band project for the first time, with their debut album "the in between" being performed live.
As the evening progresses, German-Greek bassist Athina Kontou and her quartet Mother will perform at 6 PM, followed by an open jam session at Cavete starting at 10:30 PM.
On Saturday, September 13th, the European Jazz School / Sister City Project will perform at 7:30 PM, and German-Greek bassist Athina Kontou and her quartet Mother will take the stage at 6 PM. Singer Enji will also perform, presenting her new album "Sonor". The improvising trio Vehicle/Passenger, bringing together artists from three countries - Curaçao, the US, and Germany - will also perform.
The festival will not only feature concerts but also workshops, ensuring a comprehensive jazz experience for attendees. The ensemble performing on Saturday evening, September 13, 2025, at the Waggonhalle, which has already been nominated for the German Jazz Award, is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results, adding an element of surprise to the lineup.
The festival will conclude with a Mediterranean brunch at the LEO restaurant in KA.RE., accompanied by a combo of the Studio Big Band Marburg on Sunday, September 14th. The festival will also start the day with a one-hour yoga session accompanied by jazz music at 10 AM.
Topics such as origin, democracy, collaboration, and diversity will be central to the Marburger Jazz Summer 2025, with the lineup featuring musicians who are less present in the industry, including women and women-identifying bandleaders. The festival promises to be a celebration of jazz music, cultural diversity, and community spirit. So, mark your calendars and join us in Marburg for an unforgettable jazz experience!
