The Big Band Bad Schwartau (BBBS) can already look back on a history of over 20 years. Since the first rehearsals in 2000, the ensemble has developed into one of the best amateur jazz ensembles in the East Holstein region. Today, the 25-piece big band stands for music at the highest level, cross-generational musical education and outstanding voluntary commitment to cultural life in Bad Schwartau, Lübeck and the surrounding area. Since 2019, the ensemble has been led by Martin Berner, jazz trumpeter and music teacher from Lübeck.

The MKG Big Band has been in existence for over 50 years. It was initially formed exclusively from musicians from the Großhansdorf Music Corps orchestra. Its repertoire, which initially focused on jazz standards by Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller as well as arrangements by Sammy Nestico, has since expanded considerably. The high quality of the band has already been proven at numerous competitions. The band is musically led by Hendrik Meyer, jazz guitarist and bassist from Hamburg.
