Los Cubanos Postizos

Los Muchachos Paraguayos

In this very exciting and unusual concert, internationally performing clarinettist Sabine Grofmeier fuses the sound of her clarinet with beautiful melodies from Paraguay and South America!

Alles auf los

The catchy and heartwarming melodies of Jewish Klezmer music are the perfect start to the new year. Mahler's musical language, rooted in Bohemian folk music tradition, resonates with Klezmer. Uri Caine and his band, along with the Komische Oper Berlin orchestra, will evoke both tears and foot-tapping. Embrace these emotions and step confidently into 2025. Happy New Year!

Und los – Neujahrskonzert

HILLE PERL & LOS OTROS

Viola da gamba player Hille Perl and her ensemble Los Otros explore the connections between music and dance at the court of Louis XIV. Joined by her longtime associates Lee Santana and Steve Player, Perl performs works by Baroque masters Louis Couperin, Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe, Robert de Visée, Antoine Forqueray, and Marin Marais, including the latter’s famed set of variations known as Les Folies d’Espagne.

Jazzhaus Community Orchester: Ohne Moos nix los

The Jazzhaus Community Orchestra invites you to their midday performance "Ohne Moos nix los." This inclusive band, made up of musicians aged 10 to 70, amateurs and professionals, and people of varying abilities, offers a unique musical take on current environmental issues. The performance is led by Kurt Fuhrmann, Julian Bossert, and Joscha Oetz. Their program emphasizes "joy," "unity," and "diversity." Supported by the RheinEnergieStiftung Kultur.

Bill Laurance & Michael League

You can hardly talk about Michael League and Bill Laurance without mentioning Snarky Puppy. American bassist and multi-instrumentalist Michael League founded the globally acclaimed, four-time Grammy award-winning collective almost 20 years ago. And British pianist and keyboardist Bill Laurance has been part of this global adventure for almost as long. The fact that League and Laurance are presenting their first joint duo album with »Where you wish you were« seems both surprising and logical.

Christian Sands Quartet

At the age of just 34, the American pianist Christian Sands can already look back on a quite picture-perfect career: he took up the piano at aged four, wrote his first compositions at five, and his first album followed at twelve. He went on to study with jazz ambassador Billy Taylor, played with bassist Christian McBride and has since recorded eight albums. Now Sands is bringing his quartet to the Elbphilharmonie. The New Yorker relies in his playing on a powerful swinging tempo combined with sophisticated technical finesse. His reputation as a superb live entertainer precedes him. Besides his own compositions, Sands also takes a look far back into jazz history – with Jonathon Muir-Cotton on bass, Max Light on guitar and his brother Ryan Sands on drums. He incorporates and transforms old and not-so-old heroes of piano playing like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Brad Mehldau with incredible ease. The »Süddeutsche Zeitung« newspaper once coined this »entrümpelte Klassiker« (»decluttered classics«).
