Future X – When Is Tomorrow?

»Der Himmel ist immer noch blau. Meine Süßen, Future is now!« [“The sky is still blue. My dears, the future is now!”], Peter Fox sings in his song »Zukunft Pink« [“Future Pink”]. If you ask him about his plans to save the world, his answer is: ice, pink grapefruit and, well, gin. Admittedly, it will not be quite as easy as that. But behind this naïve façade, he is devising a colourful future, shaped by social cohesion, tolerance and solidarity. The Elbphilharmonie community projects are based on these values. Under the heading »Future X«, 85 people from Hamburg have jointly developed their visions of the future and put them together for an entertaining evening. This interdisciplinary concert with music, speech and dance switches between sober analyses of the actual situation and extremely entertaining utopias of a better world.

Kustbandet in Concert – Jazz is Fun

Kustbandet has been committed to 1920s and 30s jazz since the band’s formation by a few enthusiastic schoolmates in Årsta in the 1960s. With high spirits, energy and professionalism, they have nurtured the legacy of greats like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, and presented that legacy with pleasure to Sweden and the world. Like their role models before them, Kustbandet is musically rooted in early-twentieth-century New Orleans and the jazz and swing of Harlem – eras in which jazz was a popular, festive style of music for dance and entertainment.They’ve had numerous successes over the decades, appearing at thousands of concerts, festivals and jazz clubs. As Swedish jazz ambassadors, Kustbandet has toured 20 countries and been celebrated by the media, jazz lovers, and not least – by greats like Arne Domnérus, Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie. Leif “Smoke Rings” Andersson referred to Kustbandet as his special “Swingin’ Swedes”.Jazz is Fun traditionally combines new and old works with a surprise or two.
