Elbphilharmonie Jazz Academy

Many young musicians dream of performing on the stage of the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. For some of them, this dream will become reality. Selected for the Elbphilharmonie Jazz Academy, talented young jazz musicians on their way to a professional career receive a week of coaching under the guidance of Donny McCaslin and other renowned musicians and instructors. The crowning finale is a joint concert that presents the results of the week – the exact programme remains a surprise until shortly before the concert.
