WINTERJAZZ has firmly engraved itself into the audience’s hearts. This sparkling event at the start of the year surprises, astonishes and inspires people beyond the city and surroundings of Cologne.

The festival’s backbone is the ‘Stadtgarten’ with its three stages in the concert hall, ‘Studio 672’ as well as its cafe and restaurant. Across from the Venloer Straße are the smaller venues ‘Zimmermann´s’ and ‘Umleitung’ with a more intimate feel.

This sparkly musical display makes it plain obvious to the eyes and ears how diverse and vital the Cologne jazz scene is. It’s a preview into how much can be discovered at those various (jazz) venues in Cologne all year round.
