It remains independent, organizing 1,300 concerts annually, including the Stadtpark Open Air event. Karsten Jahnke, a jazz enthusiast, also founded festivals like Elbjazz and Way Back When. His contributions earned him several awards. During the pandemic, the agency adapted with live-streaming formats and joined the Keychange initiative for gender balance in music.
