The 2023 European Jazz Intensive promises not only to bring the excitement of the New York jazz scene to Europe, but it will offer participants the opportunity to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of Germany’s historic Rhineland region. The stunning medieval city of Worms will host the opening night concert, and our final day includes a guided tour of historic Worms and a meal at the legendary German restaurant Wormser Hagenbräu, on the shores of the Rhine.
