Gunzi Heil and the KIT Big Band : Jazz & humour for the KIT anniversary

This year, Gunzi Heil and the KIT Big Band Karlsruhe meet in the obligatory jazz slot on the main stage of Das Fest. The cabaret artist, singer-songwriter and KIT graduate and Günter Hellstern's jazz flagship of Karlsruhe University combine humorous lyrics and a rousing big band sound as a tribute to the 200th anniversary of KIT. Gunzi Heil is known for his sharp-witted puns, his quick-wittedness and his charming, witty manner, and the KIT Big Band has been a figurehead for top-class jazz for years. It not only impresses on regional stages, but also internationally - including appearances at the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. Their repertoire ranges from classic swing numbers to modern arrangements, interpreted with precision and enthusiasm. The ensemble is supported by the outstanding vocal soloists Dinah Schrieb, Charlotte Helm and Marcel Buchholz, whose voices provide emotional and captivating moments. Whether for music lovers, jazz fans or fans of intelligent entertainment, this concert promises a perfect blend of humour, charm and top-class music.
