Süd Beat Big Band – Live in Concert

Big band energy from Cologne! The German International School Toronto celebrates 75 years of German-Canadian friendship with this concert.

Twenty-five students from Germany are touring across Canada, with their grand finale in Toronto.

The Süd Beat Big Band from Cologne is an award-winning ensemble that blends modern genres into a powerful big band sound. Whether hip hop, pop-rock, or fresh takes on classical works, the Süd Beat Big Band always brings the groove. Their concert tours have taken them to China, the Netherlands, and Peru — and this year, to Canada. They have performed at Cologne Jazzweek and the Lovebird Festival in Düsseldorf, and were named best big band in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

This concert is presented in collaboration with the German Consulate General Toronto @germanyintoronto , the Deutsch-Kanadische Gesellschaft e.V. @dkgonline, Goethe-Institut Toronto @goetheinstitut_toronto, and Islington United Church @islingtonuc .
