What a year it has been, with so many wonderful encounters, concerts, releases and lots of great music. Just before the holidays, we’re getting together again in our neighborhood to ring out the year. As always, we’ll start at 4pm in our studio at Hansaring 94, where there will be snacks and homemade mulled wine. At 10pm, we’ll head around the corner to Elektra, where we’ll spend the rest of the night. Come by, bring your friends and say hello.

Incoming: Sixth and last episode of the Jazzkonferenz radio format for this year, live from Hansaring tomorrow!

With only a few weeks left in 2024 the Jazzkonferenz looks back on a turbulent year. Globally, nationally, and taking into consideration the recently announced budget cuts for cultural projects in Cologne - also locally. It's not all doom and gloom though. Exciting releaases, a plethora of glowing cultural events, concerts and initiatives - time to talk about it all. Our guests this month: Greek bassist Athina Kontou, journalist, DJ and radio presenter Maike de Buhr (WDR / Deutschlandfunk / Musikexpress), and WDR3 editor & presenter Niklas Rudolph.

For this last program of 2024 we invite our guest to share their personal favorites: Which concerts or festivals were particularly memorable? What albums would be in your top 5? And what are your expectations for 2025?
