A farewell with great sound: The BIG-BAND-STArs play their last concert under Stefan Komarek
On Friday, October 2, 2026, the Schlossberghalle Starnberg will transform into a vibrant resonance space for a special Big Band concert: The BIG-BAND-STArs say goodbye with "Time to say GOD-bye" and perform their last concert under the direction of Stefan Komarek. The evening promises swinging energy, precise ensemble playing, and an audience atmosphere between departure, gratitude, and great live ambiance.
A finale with history
The BIG-BAND-STArs have been part of the musical identity of the Städtische Musikschule Starnberg for many years. Their repertoire ranges from swing standards in the spirit of Glenn Miller and Duke Ellington to Latin, rock, funk, and film music. This stylistic breadth makes the concert more than just a regular date in the cultural calendar: it is a concert experience that connects generations and makes audible the range of a well-developed youth and educational work.
When school, city, and scene resonate together
For this farewell concert, several musical forces come together: the Gymnasium Starnberg, the Landschulheim Kempfenhausen, the Stadtkapelle Starnberg, the Theodolinden Gymnasium, the Tanzzentrum Starnberg, as well as soloists. This collaboration creates the special orchestration of an evening that not only relies on virtuosity but also on the feeling of shared movement. The Musikschule Starnberg describes its profile as a space for ensemble playing, joy of playing, and high-level musical education.
Stefan Komarek and the signature of an experienced bandleader
Stefan Komarek has shaped big band work in Starnberg for years. According to the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München, he has led a big band for over 20 years and moves stylistically confidently between klezmer, swing, and avant-garde. This experience is felt in the way an ensemble phrases, reacts to each other, and carries the tension arcs of a live set. Especially in a big band, the synchronization between the brass section and rhythm group is crucial, and this is exactly where the fascination of this evening lies.
The Schlossberghalle as a sound space
The Schlossberghalle Starnberg provides the suitable setting for this occasion. The Great Hall is part of an accessible cultural and conference center in the heart of the city. With a stage, a spacious foyer, cloakroom, and parking facilities in the underground garage, the location creates ideal conditions for a relaxed concert audience. An inductive hearing loop is also available, which additionally facilitates the visit.
Why this concert touches emotionally
A farewell concert thrives on tension, memory, and anticipation at the same time. When a long-time leader figure like Stefan Komarek steps down, an evening condenses into a musical balance. The combination of a young ensemble, strong cooperation partners, and a repertoire full of energy promises a dense live atmosphere with strong moments, powerful brass sections, and emotional transitions.
Conclusion: The BIG-BAND-STArs send a signal for lived music school work and captivating stage performance with their last concert under Stefan Komarek. Anyone wanting to experience big band sound, young talents, and a special farewell evening should not miss this date in Starnberg.
