An evening between tango, big band power, and great jazz poetry
The Munich Modern Jazz Orchestra will bring Astor Piazzolla's 'Libertango' into the powerful sound of a modern jazz big band on Saturday, 19.12.2026, at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein. The evening promises orchestral tension, rhythmic precision, and a live atmosphere that combines South American passion with contemporary jazz aesthetics.
When tango becomes big band
At the center is a program that combines the emotional depth of Tango Nuevo with the weight of large orchestral colors. The mmjo is known for modern big band jazz from hard and post-bop to contemporary pieces, relying on complex metrics, distinctive soundscapes, and musical dynamics with a clear signature.
Fred Sturm's arrangements in the spotlight
The arrangements by Fred Sturm give the Piazzolla Suite its special contour: precisely layered, contrastingly orchestrated, and full of energy. Even the historical recording by the HR Bigband in 2002 shows the quality of these versions; now the work experiences a fresh, live-charged update in Traunstein.
Vladislav Cojocaru as a colorful soloist
On stage as a soloist is the award-winning accordionist Vladislav Cojocaru. His experience as a tango expert brings the authenticity that this repertoire needs: smooth lines, dramatic accents, and a warm tone that swings between melancholy and rhythmic fire.
A venue with a special aura
The Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein provides the perfect setting for this. The former monastery complex is now a vibrant cultural site with concert, theater, and exhibition operations. For visitors, this means: short distances, a stylish environment, and a concentrated concert atmosphere in the heart of Traunstein.
Practical information for the concert evening
Doors typically open one hour before the start, and the box office opens one hour prior. Advance tickets are available according to the organizer at the Tourist Information Traunstein and online. For access, parking options in the vicinity as well as the train with walking distance to the Kulturforum are available.
Those who want to experience Piazzolla's music in a lively big band interpretation will get an evening filled with depth, groove, and orchestral brilliance. The concert promises intense sound colors, strong solo moments, and a close audience experience that is best felt on-site.
