Jazzy Monday – After-Work Jazz at the Klosterkirche

Jazzy Monday: Relaxing into the Week – with Live Jazz in Traunstein

On Monday, December 15, 2025, the Kulturforum Klosterkirche in Traunstein will transform into a cozy jazz lounge. The duo Nasos Koutifaris (piano) and Maximilian Schmid (double bass) invite you to an after-work event featuring jazz standards, well-known melodies, and changing guests – an intimate live atmosphere, clear acoustics, and an unobstructed view of the stage.

Sound for Arrival: Warm Piano, Deep Bass

Fine voicings on the piano, elastic walking lines, and precise synchronization define the sound. The program oscillates between swing, bossa, and gentle ballads; the orchestration remains lean, and the stage performance approachable. This creates a concert experience that makes jazz accessible – without compromising on timing, dynamics, and interaction.

Light, Space, Resonance: The Klosterkirche as a Sound Body

The modernized Klosterkirche offers bright lighting moods and acoustically balanced hall architecture. The audience experiences the mood from the front row to the balcony – short paths, comfortable row seating, cloakroom in the basement, bar service for a relaxed evening.

Curated from the Scene: Live Jazz Traunstein
