NICA live special, which takes place on the eve of WINTERJAZZ Cologne, extends its program to two days. On January 8 and 9, all currently active NICA artists will present current projects and music. These evenings are primarily reserved for national and international specialist audiences. 🚨Interested audiences can reserve free tickets until January 5: https://stadtgarten.ticket.io/?onlyTag=NICAlivespecial2026🚨
In addition to the concert hall at Stadtgarten Köln and Club JAKI, the concerts will also take place in two nearby churches, Neu St. Alban and Christuskirche, both of which are within walking distance.
The cooperation between WINTERJAZZ KÖLN and NICA artist development has proven its worth in recent years. With its two-day focus on the young, innovative improvised music scene, the beginning of the year in Cologne has become particularly attractive for an international specialist audience.
NICA artist development is a funding programme of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia for musicians from North Rhine-Westphalia who work in the field of jazz and contemporary music and want to advance their artistic profile and professionalization.
