The Enjoy Jazz Festival 2024
Why is jazz good for your mental health? We'll tell you. 🎷✨👇
Why jazz?
Jazz is only for older generations? Not at all! Every year, the Enjoy Jazz Festival proves anew how modern, versatile and exciting this musical genre is. Jazz is more than just dusty sounds from the 60s. Today it is being reinvented and mixed by young artists - with influences from hip-hop, R&B and electronic music.
The Enjoy Jazz Festival not only offers breathtaking music, but also plenty of inspiration and exciting experiences. This year, everything revolves around the theme of "Healing".

Musical Healing?
Did you know that music has the proven ability to increase our physical and mental well-being? Several studies have shown that jazz in particular, with its diverse rhythms and harmonies, has a relaxing, stimulating and healing effect. This is exactly what you can experience at the Enjoy Jazz Festival in a very special way.
Imagine listening to first-class jazz and simply doing what makes you feel good - lying down, relaxing, soaking up the moment. It's not just about the music, it's about you and your well-being.
Together with the Weill Music Institute at the legendary Carnegie Hall, Enjoy Jazz has brought a unique concept to Germany: the Well-Being Concerts. These concerts are already a huge success in New York. They combine world-class music with mindfulness and self-care, creating space for relaxation.
On October 6 , you have the unique opportunity to experience such a Well-Being Concert in Heidelberg for yourself. The South African pianist and healer Nduduzo Makhathini, artist in residence at Enjoy Jazz, will create an atmosphere with his music that goes far beyond a normal concert experience.
Matinee: Nduduzo Makhathini solo
The opening concert also promises to be an absolute premiere: South African jazz virtuoso Nduduzo Makhathini meets celebrated pianist Vijay Iyer. The two combine their talents and create a musical dialog that is both deeply moving and excitingly new.
Vijay Iyer & Nduduzo Makhathini

From classic jazz performances to electronic fusion and experimental music. The Enjoy Jazz Festival is the perfect opportunity to discover the versatility of this musical genre and immerse yourself in a world that has far more to offer than you might have previously thought.
