The Offene Ohren e.V. team is taking a summer break until Saturday, 5 September 2026.
To open our autumn programme, we will be joined that Saturday by the Australian violinist Jon Rose with his project Colophony– in the year of his 75th birthday! He will be accompanied by bassist Meinrad Kneer and electronic musician Richard Barrett.
Jon Rose was already a guest of Offene Ohren e.V. an incredible 20 years ago, performing in the trio FUTCH with Thomas Lehn and Johannes Bauer. That concert can still be heard on CD today: JazzWerkstatt JW010 www.jazzwerkstatt.eu
This is just one of more than three dozen Offene Ohren e.V. concerts that have been released on official recordings. A complete overview can be found here: Improvisation to open your ears.
Anyone looking for live improvised music over the summer is very welcome to browse our festival list.
And here, for the curious, is a first look at our autumn programme,for now as a downloadable PDF: OffeneOhren_eV_Vorschau_Herbst2026.pdf
Further details will follow soon.
The friends of improvised music of the Offene Ohren e.V. would like to thank the Kulturreferat München for its continuous help allowing to present improvised music in Munich.
