Fiston Mwanza Mujila, poet-in-residence for 2026/27, meets musicians from the BigBand. His rhythmically driven texts meld with jazz improvisations. A dialogue between Congolese poetry and jazz’s roots in the African diaspora.

For over ten years, the Deutsche Oper Berlin BigBand’s jazz series at the Tischlerei has provided special musical encounters in an intimate setting. Each concert combines jazz with lyrics, poetry or insight into the lives of important composers and jazz legends.

Curated and presented by BigBand members Rüdiger Ruppert, Sebastian Krol and Guntram Halder.

After each concert, you can also meet the artists in person: Artists’ Lounge.
