The “Weill am Abend” series began on 13 August with an open‑air concert and continued with jazz performances, a multimedia history presentation, theatre, and a cellist through November, with tickets already on sale. The schedule extends into early 2027, covering roughly 70 events across Dessau and the surrounding region. A week later, additional Weill‑related concerts were publicised in other German cities. A Swiss‑led jazz quartet was set to play in Braunschweig’s Red Hall, showcasing new material from an upcoming album. Separately, the International Bach Academy announced a performance of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s cantata “Der Lindberghflug” in Ludwigsburg on 1 May 2027, featuring a mixed program of Weill, Gershwin, and Ravel works. These announcements illustrate the expanding calendar of Kurt Weill‑focused cultural events throughout Germany beyond the Dessau festival core. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Jazz Quartet and Weill/Brecht Concerts Announced in German Cities Jazz quartet led by Andreas Schaerer will play in Braunschweig, while a Weill/Brecht cantata will be performed in Ludwigsburg in May 2027. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jazz-quartet-and-weillbrecht-concerts-announced-in-german-cities ### 2026-07-25: Kurt Weill Festival series launches in Dessau, Germany Dessau launches the 'Weill am Abend' series as part of the upcoming 35th Kurt‑Weill Festival, featuring concerts, jazz, theater and multimedia events from August 2026 through March 2027. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kurt-weill-festival-series-launches-in-dessau-germany --- Cite as: Kurt Weill festival and concerts in Germany.
