SKALPEL BAND

Vicente Amigo & band

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.

Götz Alsmann & Band

The wisdom of proverbs and pop songs remain eternal truths... No wonder Götz Alsmann makes the night the centre of the evening on his new album and in his current programme. Or the evening as the highlight of the day? To this end, he draws on exquisite gems from the history of pop music, melancholic and humorous gems from 1910 to 1965 – and he does it differently to everyone else. It is not for nothing that the singer and pianist Götz Alsmann is regarded as the »King of German jazz schlager«.

Brass Band Berlin

The string players always sit at the front of the podium at an orchestral concert, while the percussionists and brass players always sit behind them, in the second row, so to speak. As principal percussionist at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Thomas Hoffmann wanted to change this fixed situation and founded the Brass Band Berlin. The idea was very well received by colleagues. The Brass Band Berlin is a perfect blend of brilliant musical sophistication and that little bit of extra entertainment.

Götz Alsmann & Band

After the latest studio album entitled »L.I.E.B.E.« with a tour of the same name and the musical excursions »In Paris« (2011), »On Broadway« (2014) and »In Rome« (2017), the king of the jazz hits Götz Alsmann is back at the Laeiszhalle with a new programme in 2024. The band that assists Götz Alsmann at the concerts consists of musicians, most of whom have been part of the ensemble for decades. At literally thousands of concerts, they have participated in Alsmann’s everlasting commitment to the jazz hit. Their place in music history is assured.

Klaus Hoffmann & Band

Klaus Hoffmann has been on stage for around 50 years and sounds fresher than ever on his 50th album »Flügel«. And he always remains true to himself. The Berlin songwriter and singer has composed and written fourteen new songs for it. He once again proves himself to be a great storyteller and subtle observer of our increasingly disturbing present. And every single song is so precisely and radiantly arranged that one can only say: Caution, potentially addictive! When you listen to Klaus Hoffmann’s songs, your mind and soul open up. Boundless, infinite, you suddenly feel the vastness of the world. You fly up to the sky and look beyond the horizon at the sea. You are immersed in a cosmos of the most diverse feelings. From elated melancholy, sadness and pain to touching happiness and the greatest love. All wrapped up in this irresistible mix of chanson, jazz, Latin and pop, which knows how to surprise musically nuanced with ever new sound colours and seems to unite all the melodies between North and South, East and West. You can always hear German solemnity and the shimmering melancholy of Irish folklore, as well as Mediterranean lightness and French charm in his songs.

Dabeull Live Band

A central figure of the new French Touch, Paris DJ and producer Dabeull delivers an electro-disco-funk cocktail as shimmering as it is energizing. A seasoned hedonist, performing here at the head of a large entourage of musicians, he sets the concert hall alight.

Brass Band Berlin

Götz Alsmann & Band

No one can talk about music as charmingly and passionately as Götz Alsmann, a regular guest in Cologne with his band. The title of their new program sparks anticipation for a delightful evening. Their music harmonizes perfectly, creating a captivating world. Alsmann and his band achieve a casual lightness without drifting into arbitrariness. The focus is always on the group's sound: a well-balanced mix of subtle rhythm and delicate melody, reminiscent of old film scores.
