Jazz meets Dolce Vita: Till Brönner and the SWR Big Band live in Bochum

On April 26, 2027, the RuhrCongress Bochum will transform into a musical piazza. Till Brönner and the SWR Big Band present ITALIA - Ancora!, the continuation of their successful Italy project – featuring a large orchestral ensemble, Mediterranean joie de vivre, and the unmistakable sound of a trumpet that blends elegance and emotion.

Italian melodies in orchestral dimension

The program ranges from timeless compositions by Ennio Morricone to the poetic sound world of Paolo Conte, up to Italian pop classics from the 1960s to the 1980s. Jazz arrangements, precise synchronization, and the orchestral sophistication of the SWR Big Band give familiar melodies new contours. Among silky ballads, swinging rhythms, and powerful brass sections, a sound full of warmth, nostalgia, and Mediterranean expansiveness emerges.

Till Brönner: Trumpet sound with an international profile

Till Brönner is one of the defining German jazz musicians of his generation. After classical trumpet training and studies in jazz trumpet, he worked with internationally renowned artists such as Dave Brubeck, Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, and Chaka Khan. His discography ranges from Generations Of Jazz and Blue Eyed Soul to Oceana, RIO, and various cross-genre productions.

For his musical work, Brönner has received several awards, including ECHO Jazz Awards and the Jazz Award. In addition, he has Grammy nominations and chart successes that underscore his blend of jazz tradition, pop sensibility, and modern stage performance.

The SWR Big Band as a sound-strong partner

The SWR Big Band is one of the renowned jazz orchestras in Europe. Its precise interplay creates the orchestral framework for Brönner's trumpet language: rich saxophone lines, distinctive brass, buoyant rhythm sections, and finely tuned dynamics. The conducting and arrangements combine musical detail work with immediate live energy.

A musical journey between jazz club and piazza

The concert experience thrives on contrast: intimate trumpet tones meet the broad sound of a big band orchestra, restrained moments grow into radiant tutti passages. The live atmosphere promises a interplay of elegant stage performance, powerful sound, and emotional audience mood – like an evening under southern skies, right in the Ruhr area.

Conclusion: Experience Italian sound worlds live

ITALIA - Ancora! brings together great melodies, jazz expertise, and the energy of a top-notch big band. Those who want to experience Ennio Morricone, Paolo Conte, Italian classics, and modern orchestral jazz in an exceptional concert atmosphere will find a special evening full of warmth, rhythm, and musical class at the RuhrCongress Bochum.
