• Hochschule für Musik und Theater München

  

  Jazz Department HMTM

  »Jazz«, being a musical and an individual form of artistic expression, always includes both: mastering and continuing the tradition on the one hand, and looking for new possibilities of expression, crossing boundaries and merging diverse musical styles on the other.
  
  The central teaching and learning principles of the program focus on showing the students how to take responsibility in a vocational course of study that not only meets the instrumental requirements but also calls for crossing (musical) boundaries without reservations.
  
  The city of Munich is a culturally attractive location and offers a wide range of performance opportunities on and beyond the university grounds. The Gasteig with its various concert halls, which attract large audiences, is a particular suitable venue for the jazz program to reach out to a wide public. Clubs, open-air stages, weekly sessions and festivals give students the opportunity to gain stage experience during their years of training.
  
  Within the Bayerisches Jazzweekend’s selection committee the three jazz academies Munich, Nuremberg and Würzburg rotate, with Munich to take place in 2025.

  Trained by the German Federal Jazz Orchestra and the Bavarian Landesjugendjazzorchester, Christian Sommerer completed several years of jazz studies to become a bass trombonist. He founded his first Big Band at the age of 16.

  Sommerer, who was born in Regensburg, founded the professional Summit Jazz Orchestra at the age of 21, which gave over 60 concerts in Regensburg as part of a multi-year concert series, being the forerunner of the Jazzorchester Regensburg - Die Volvo Big Band. The orchestra even had five appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival and toured through the USA, Siberia and the Urals on behalf of the German Foreign Office and the Goethe Institute.

  In autumn 2021, the city of Regensburg entrusted him with the artistic direction of the Bavarian Jazz Weekend.
