Görlitz Jazz Days 2023: A festival of sounds inspires young and old!

Görlitz, Deutschland - The Görlitz Jazz Days 2023 have found a crowning conclusion with a positive balance. After seven concerts that took place at various venues, the festival ended last Sunday with a rousing appearance of the German-Belgian band "Favo 3" in the cultural memory of the Zinzendorf lock in Berthelsdorf. The opening of the festival in mid -May took over an Israeli pianist in the renowned Löbauer pianomaniac August Förster. This combination of international flair and local tradition made the event appear particularly impressive.

Friedemann Dreßler, chairman of the cultural surcharge association, commented very positively about the mood during the jazz days. The audience and the bands seemed harmoniously connected. Various music styles were presented, including the jazz harbonies of the Norwegian jazz tubist Daniel Herskedal in the Görlitz Christuskirche and big band jazz from Graz in the Pückler-Schloss Muskau. The pianist Helmut Lörscher provided enthusiasm with his creative improvisations, including the GDR's national anthem in the style of Vivaldis and Chick Corea.

Versatile program inspires the audience

Another highlight was the Mongolian pianist Shuteen Edenebaatar, who won the sympathy of the audience in the Görlitzer Rabryka with sensitive moderations. The conceptual orientation of the festival attracted numerous guests, especially young Polish and Ukrainian guests. There were exuberance at many concerts, which underlined the successful atmosphere. The new "New Jazz" concert format "Next Generation", which was specially designed for a young audience, was particularly successful. One of the participating bands consisted of two Görlitz high school students who also brought younger listeners while the other band comes from Ukraine.

The planning for the next jazz days in Görlitz, which will take place from May 27 to June 7, 2024, are already underway.
