Mikis Takeover! Ensemble, Max Mutzke

Date & Time
Sat, Apr 5, 2025, 20:00
Who likes limitations and boundaries? In music, thankfully, they can be ignored. When concertmaster and rapper Miki Kekenj takes the stage with his chamber music "Takeover! Ensemble", fans of classical and pop music follow suit. The virtuoso violinist's ensemble seamlessly blends styles, translating pop, soul, and rap into classical sounds. Instruments like violin and cello take the place of the usual rhythm section and dense sound, giving music a new, unplugged shine.

Stefanie Heinzmann & Mikis Takeover! Ensemble

Mon, May 20, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Stefanie Heinzmann (Vocals), Mikis Takeover! Ensemble, Miki Kekenj (Violin), Miki Kekenj (Director)
Take a blank musical canvas, six classical instrumentalists and a gifted soul singer and equip them with lush, onomatopoeic brushes. Then lock them in a rehearsal room together and give them two handfuls of catchy pop songs. What happens then? That’s right, that’s when Takeover happens! This time, the wonderful songs of Stefanie Heinzmann are taken over and turned inside out. It will be interesting to see which classical quotations ensemble founder and arranger Miki Kekenj will incorporate into the pieces and which instruments will be allowed to nestle against Stefanie Heinzmann’s sometimes silky, sometimes soulfully powerful vocals. In any case, it will be a sound-painting masterpiece that would have delighted both Da Vinci and Pollock.

Max Richter

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Max Richter (Piano), Max Richter (Keyboard), Eloisa-Fleur Thom (Violin), Max Baillie (Violin), Connie Pharoah (Viola), Max Ruisi (Cello), Zara Hudson-Kozdoj (Cello)
Welcome to a concert by one of the most influential and acclaimed composers of our time – Max Richter!His characteristic fusion of classical technique and electronic technology, heard on both solo albums and countless pieces for film, dance, art and fashion, have paved the way for a new generation of musicians and made him an iconic composer with fans around the world.His ninth solo album, In A Landscape, is the first one composed and recorded at his peaceful new studio in rural Oxfordshire. According to Richter, it is a fleeting self-portrait of a musician in constant motion. But it also goes much deeper than that. It is music about “uniting polarities.” Bringing together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world, the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living.After grappling with big ideas and thorny social and political questions, the making of In A Landscape has opened up another, greener world for Richter. Above all, making music remains “a way to make a kind of alternate reality,” a constructed world “where everything is in its place.”

Max Reger – zum 150sten!

Sun, Mar 5, 2023, 18:00
hr-Sendesaal (Frankfurt am Main)
Akemi Mercer-Niewöhner (Violin), Nadine Blumenstein (Violin), Dirk Niewöhner (Viola), Maja Schwamm (Cello), Sebastian Wittiber (Flute), Ulrich Büsing (Clarinet)
Considered a heavyweight successor to Brahms and Wagner, Reger's complex works remain polarizing. This concert, juxtaposed with Bach, showcases Reger's Baroque roots alongside his powerful musical breakthroughs. From old-style canons and a forward-striving serenade, the program culminates in his late Clarinet Quintet, which eschews earlier Reger's pathos, presenting instead a quiet introspection and delicate transparency. Concert duration: approx. 110 minutes.
