An evening between wordplay, swing, and great stage art in the Bielefeld City Hall
On 2026-09-08, the HEINZ ERHARDT Project meets the Glenn Miller Orchestra at the Bielefeld City Hall, combining subtle humor with the warm glow of a real big band. The evening promises a concert experience that merges Erhardt charm, musical precision, and a nostalgic live atmosphere into a special program.
Word art with rhythm
Heinz Erhardt's texts thrive on ambiguity, rhythm, and the famous wink. This project draws its strength from exactly that: From sketches, chansons, and poems emerges an evening that not only reminisces but revitalizes. The blend of acting, singing, and orchestral arrangement creates an audience atmosphere that swings between smiles and goosebumps.
Big-band sound with historical echo
The Glenn Miller Orchestra brings the unmistakable sound of a great swing tradition to the stage. The official orchestra page describes 13 brass players plus rhythm section, 30 titles per concert, and a sound that has been touring since 1985. This orchestration lends Erhardt's texts an elegant, buoyant dramaturgy where every entry hits the mark and every chord sounds like hall gold.
Between humor and precision
The combination of the Heinz Erhardt program and big band is more than a nostalgic look back. It relies on timing, musical synchronization, and the power of live performance. When Jörg Achim Keller leads the arrangements and the ensemble works with swing, chanson, and pointed stage dynamics, an evening is created that doesn't just adorn comedy but carries it.
Strong performance in the right space
The Bielefeld City Hall fits perfectly with its central location and concert focus for this format. The venue is known for its accessible entrances, elevators, cloakroom for a fee, and gastronomic offers during entry and intermission. The parking garage at the City Hall is directly on Nahariyastraße, additional parking options are located in the vicinity, and public transport is recommended.
What visitors can expect
This concert combines humorous texts, great melodies, and the special energy of a live evening that echoes long after in the hall. Anyone who loves Heinz Erhardt or wants to experience big band swing live will find a cleverly crafted stage evening full of charm, sound color, and surprises. Be there live and experience the special mix in Bielefeld yourself.
