Gondwana Records Presents | Jazz

In the organizer's words:

Gondwana Records Presents is now probably our most traditional concert evening, which we curate every year together with our friends from Gondwana Records and to which they invite three of their most captivating artists each time.

Next year, we can once again look forward to a varied and groundbreaking line-up. We will announce who will be performing in the coming weeks.

Gondwana Records is an independent record label founded in Manchester in 2008 by trumpeter, composer and producer Matthew Halsall and his brother, graphic designer and artist Daniel Halsall.

Inspired by their love of deep spiritual jazz and British club culture, Gondwana initially focused on releases by Matthew Halsall and saxophonist Nat Birchall, featuring the crème de la crème of Manchester's jazz scene. In 2012, Gondwana released the debut albums of acoustic-electronic trio GoGo Penguin and folk-jazz minimalists Mammal Hands. In 2018, they heralded the return of the Portico Quartet to the studio, helping to define a current of progressive electronic and jazz-influenced new music that forms one of the label's signature sounds alongside jazz, post-classical and ambient music. As a result, Gondwana became home to pioneering and progressive new artists such as Hania Rani, Svaneborg Kardyb, Vega Trails and Jasmine Myra.

Gondwana Records Presents concerts are produced in collaboration with some of Europe's most iconic venues, from the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg to the Roundhouse and Union Chapel in London and beyond.

We are thrilled to present Gondwana Records Pres ents for the sixth time on Easter Saturday, March 27, 2027 in the Elbphilharmonie 's Grand Hall.
