THE ASSOCIATION

Since its founding in 1973, the Leipzig Jazz Association ( Jazzclub Leipzig e.V.) has established itself as an integral part of Leipzig’s cultural scene. In 1976, the association organized the Leipziger Jazztage, which have since earned the city a reputation as a major jazz destination even beyond state and national borders. 

In this way, the Leipzig Festival Association ( Jazzclub Leipzig e.V.) makes a significant contribution to the character of this vibrant music metropolis. Today, the association is known not only for the “ Leipziger Jazztage,” but also for the smaller festival “MUSIKZEIT,” regular“Jazzclub ” live concerts, and the monthly Jazzkalender. 

In addition, Jazzclub organizes the Marion Ermer Foundation's Jazz Young Talent Award together with the City of Leipzig's Department of Culture, supports the nationwide jazz festival for young talent FUTURUM and works closely with important institutions such as the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theatre. 

The association has 186 members (as of June 2026).

The Jazzclub Leipzig e.V. is also a member of the Saxony Jazz Association and the German Jazz Union.
