Big Band Jazz up close: Callum Au meets the Big Band of the Bundeswehr in Bonn
On Monday, November 23, 2026, the Pantheon in Bonn will transform into an intimate resonance space for swing, jazz, and powerful brass music. At the club concert of the Big Band of the Bundeswehr, the internationally renowned orchestra will meet with arranger and musical director Callum Au. The evening combines musical precision with immediate live atmosphere and a charitable thought.
When the brass section sets the space in motion
In the Pantheon, the audience will consciously experience the Big Band of the Bundeswehr up close. Rich sound, precise synchronization, and virtuosic solos condense into a concert that transfers the energy of a large stage into a concentrated club format. Every performance hits, every rhythm connects - between swing pulse, jazzy elegance, and modern big band groove, an electrifying audience atmosphere emerges.
Callum Au and the roots of big band jazz
Together with Callum Au, the orchestra will focus on the musical roots of big band jazz. His work as arranger and musical director shapes the orchestration, dynamics, and conducting of the program. Thus, historical swing aesthetics, rich instrumentation, and contemporary stage performance come together. The result sounds powerful, detailed, and simultaneously accessible.
More than a concert: Music for a good cause
For over five decades, the Big Band of the Bundeswehr has been thrilling its audience on stages around the world.
