Winterjazz Köln 2026

The Winter Music Festival in Cologne's Stadtgarten
Saturday, January 10, 2026

Our music festival in, from, and for Cologne is turning fifteen!

For this special edition in 2026, curators Ulla Oster and Angelika Niescier have invited five illustrious (inter)national guests to perform their compositions, concepts, and ideas together with Cologne-based musicians: Benoît Delbecq, Alexandra Grimal, Alexander Morsey, Monika Roscher and Cansu Tanrıkulu. A total of 14 extraordinary projects and bands will be performing on four stages, and admission is free, of course.

You can find an overview of the program and information about the individual ensembles here on our website and at www.winterjazzkoeln.com.
