Danube’s Banks

This music evokes road trips and long summer nights of non-stop dancing: Danube’s Banks are a byword for a danceable mix of gypsy swing with connections to Django Reinhardt, Klezmer and Balkan beats. Saxophone and clarinet revel in characteristic Balkan and Klezmer melodies; the accompaniment also provides the necessary driving grooves with rhythm guitar and drumming. Their outfits and instruments are retro, their music not one bit old-fashioned however, but always intoxicating. They began with street music in St. Pauli and you can still enjoy the experience here if the weather is good. Because nowhere are you so very close to your audience. But the sextet also makes bars, pubs, clubs and concert halls willingly uneasy – and now the Elbphilharmonie!

Histoires fantastiques

Mischpoke / Family Concert

A wildly dancing violin and a clarinet that can laugh and cry. A lively, sauntering piano and a bass that sometimes sounds like a train pulling up. With their inimitable mix of klezmer, jazz, tango, world music and classical music, the Hamburg band Mischpoke invites young and old to experience handmade music together, to clap, sing, dance and listen. Whether small or large stages, primary or secondary school, international festivals or the Berlin Philharmonie: Mischpoke meets every audience with sincerity and a twinkle in their eye. Their energetic and highly virtuosic playing creates a collective energy that sets hearts and hips vibrating every time.

Mischpoke

Mischpoke is a Hamburg klezmer band that has built up an international audience. Their music is an inimitable mix of traditional, newly arranged and self-composed instrumental pieces, in which the genres of klezmer, jazz, tango, world music and classical music are explored in the most beautiful way. Yiddish songs are heard in new arrangements and repeatedly surprise with their own song text passages that make political and social references to the present day. In their current programme, Mischpoke adhere to the power of music as a universal language that creates connections between people and cultures. With their passionate and highly virtuoso playing, the Mischpoke concerts always create this collective live energy that gets hearts and hips dancing!

Afel Bocoum

It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.

Lucienne Renaudin Vary & Tim Allhoff

Lucienne Renaudin Vary and Tim Allhoff are siblings in spirit, as they move between genres. »Jazz meets classical music« is not just a label for them, but a living reality. The French trumpeter enjoyed a classical education at the renowned Paris Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique, but improvising in a jazz quartet or at home with her two younger brothers has always played an equally important role. Pianist and composer Tim Allhoff studied jazz piano in Munich and regularly immerses himself in classical soundscapes as an arranger for renowned musicians from the classical music scene. In the ProArteX series, both give free rein to their joy of playing and experimenting. In addition to Bach and Françaix, the programme includes songs by Gershwin, Nat »King« Cole and the Beatles.
