    Wolfgang Haffner – Jazz

    Wolfgang Haffner on his 50th stage anniversary

    Wolfgang Haffner has been at home on every continent for five decades. He has played with the greatest jazz musicians and feels equally at home in a wide variety of styles. Anyone who has ever seen him live is captivated by his playing – he brings so much joy and positive energy to the stage. Schloss Elmau has long since become his second home. We are therefore celebrating his anniversary with two very special concerts.
