Minden's musical side

In regard of music you can find (almost) everything in Minden. Opera, chamber concerts, symphonies: The entire spectrum of classical music is covered. The "indoor" concerts take place e.g. in the Minden Community Theatre ("Mindener Stadttheater"), but the "open air" concerts are very popular, too. The place in front of the Cathedral of Minden ("Mindener Dom") is the setting for an annual concert in cooperation with the Nordwestdeutschen Philharmonie.

The Jazz Club Minden is the right address for all Jazz enthused visitors and guests. It was founded in 1953 and is one of Germany's oldest Jazz Clubs. The club hosts around 50 concerts every year and the annual Mindener Jazz Summer Night. The experts are astound about the commitment of all involved volunteers who can manage to get high-class musicians and wellknown bands to come to Minden. Some names among the many: Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Klaus Doldinger, Jocelyn B. Smith, Candy Dulfer...
