Jens Peter Maintz / Kateryna Titova

Jens Peter Maintz / Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt

»Cello Duello« is both the name and the programme, a musical contest that the two artists fight out on stage. »Cello Duello« - that sounds damn martial. But none of that. Although Jens Peter Maintz and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt bring weighty ›weapons‹ and a virtuoso bow to the battle, they play more in cooperation than in opposition. Both parts are absolutely equal, the parts sometimes alternate in rapid tempo, an artistic all-round pleasure!« (Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung). Jens Peter Maintz and Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt have been performing together on the world’s stages as »Cello Duello« for over 30 years and have been guests at all the major cello festivals: the Kronberg Festival, the Amsterdam Biennale, Musical Viva Moscow or the International Piatigorsky Cello Festival in Los Angeles. They have given concerts at the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Vienna Musikverein and present a varied, highly virtuosic firework of cellistic joy and sound art.

Peter Kraus

Peter Kraus celebrates his 85th birthday in 2024! With his major and very successful tour in 2023, the »eternally young« and exceptional artist already said goodbye to touring life in the spring of 2023. But the passion for music, stage air and closeness to the audience remains. A thoroughbred musician like Peter Kraus lives and loves and needs the stage. And so the superstar of the wild 50s and 60s is »gifting« himself and all his fans a series of concerts in selected concert halls for this special anniversary. Peter Kraus’s »Rockin’ 85!« promises to be a rousing »limited edition« in the truest sense of the tour title!

»Peter und der Wolf«

When Peter leaves the garden gate open, all hell breaks loose! Perhaps you remember: the duck leaves the garden, the cat stalks the bird, the wolf swallows the duck, Peter saves the wolf from being shot by the hunters, and in the end the wolf is taken to the zoo in a triumphal procession. »It’s all happening here«, the audience might rightly think! And in addition to Prokofiev’s classic work for children, this entertaining and humorous family concert also features a mysterious »Intrada Wolfada« and a lively presentation of all the instruments of the orchestra...
