Ella Fitzgerald's Jazz Legacy in the Red Hall
On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the concert series The Story of Jazz in the Red Hall of the Braunschweig Castle will dedicate itself to one of the most influential voices in music history: Ella Fitzgerald. The edition Vol. 11: Ella! starts at 7:30 PM and is already sold out.
The First Lady of Song in the Spotlight
Ella Fitzgerald shaped jazz with impeccable intonation, extraordinary articulation, and her distinctive scat singing. Her career took her from a talent competition at the Apollo Theater in New York to a career spanning more than five decades with over 200 albums and 14 Grammy Awards.
Between Swing, Bebop, and the Great American Songbook
The concert traces the musical journey of the Queen of Jazz. The focus is on her powerful swing, the rhythmic precision of bebop, and the elegant stage performance that made Fitzgerald's interpretations of classics from the Great American Songbook unforgettable. Her collaborations with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington are among the standout chapters of jazz history.
A Concert Series with Professional Insight
The series conceived by saxophonist Alexander Hartmann combines musical context with a direct concert experience. Together with Greta Gröning, Hartmann delivers a performance in which sound, phrasing, improvisation, and orchestral contexts make the story behind the music audible. The historical atmosphere of the Red Hall provides a stylish setting for this.
Live Atmosphere in the Residence Castle
As the first themes arise, concentrated acoustics meet the elegance of classic jazz melodies. The audience's mood thrives on the subtle dynamic transitions, the rhythmic pulse, and the tension between arranged passages and improvisational freedom. Thus, a tribute becomes an intense concert experience.
