Branford Marsalis & Friends

Branford Marsalis Quartet & Friends

Saxophonist and composer Branford Marsalis has been a fixture in jazz for decades. He is also a sought-after classical soloist with acclaimed orchestras around the world and his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena. The Branford Marsalis Quartet, formed in 1986, has established a rare breadth of stylistic range and is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. The Quartet is now joined by 7 excellent Hungarian musicians to perform songs based on Hungarian Folk Music. Marsalis knew he was not interested in simply adding »jazz« chords to folk songs noting that »the chords, the harmonies are perfect as they are. They have just the right emotional impact.« The project was commissioned by Müpa and first premiered in Budapest, where it was immediately praised as a success.

Sinatra & Friends

Naturally 7

Naturally 7 create the multi-faceted sound cosmos of a whole band from the sound of the drums to the bass, the guitar, the harmonica or even the trombone – and completely without instruments! The seven men sing a cappella, but they are not comparable with many other groups of this genre, because only a few achieve such a perfect sound. Sometimes it’s R’n’B, soul or hip hop, sometimes gospel, pop or even rock. In the programme »N7 @the Movies« Naturally 7 performs great songs from movies and musicals like »Titanic«, »West Side Story«, »Grease«, »8 Mile«, »Saturday Night Fever« and many more.

Die Feisten

When »Die Feisten« do what they like to do best, lots of new songs tumble out of their songwriting machine: one for the forcibly shipped, involuntary concert guests who would actually rather be at the football or a heavy metal gig. Another about the best-before date of all of us: »Mein Körper und ich« (My Body and Me) shows how you can laugh about your own decay. It’s going to be funny. All the new stories in good company with the feisty hits.

Gustav Peter Wöhler Band

Singer and actor Gustav Peter Wöhler and his band have been on stage together for twenty-five years. The quartet’s programme features an ever-changing collection of personal favourite songs. The programme builds bridges between stars and one-hit wonders, classics and personal discoveries. The spectrum ranges from Joe Jackson, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell to Rio Reiser and June Carter. The titles are framed by Gustav Peter Wöhler’s very personal stories – the audience thanks him with standing ovations!

LaLeLu - a cappella comedy

»It all started in 1995, at a student party now and then...«, and since then three men and one woman from northern Germany have been delighting their large music and comedy fan base throughout Germany with nothing but their voices and boundless creativity. LaLeLu, the unique a cappella comedy quartet from Hamburg, is celebrating its 30th anniversary on stage, making it one of the few bands with such an enduring success story.

The Dubliners Encore

The Dubliners Encore is a live show that tells the story of Ireland’s greatest folk band, reviving their unforgettable music. Devised and narrated by the last living Dubliners member John Sheahan and Phil Coulter, the band’s original record producer and musical director, The Dubliners Encore is the official story of the band in their heyday. This deeply personal tribute is fuelled by the band’s iconic music, their best-loved songs, unreleased archive recordings and, of course, the legendary stories told with boundless joy. In this way, not only the music but also the aura of this incomparable folk band returns to the stage!

Die Feisten

When the feisty ones do what they love best, lots of new songs tumble out of their songwriting machine: one for the forced, involuntary concert guests who would actually rather be at the football or a heavy metal gig. Another about the humanly best-before date: »Mein Körper und ich« shows how you can laugh at your own decline. It’s going to be funny. All the new stories in good company with the feisty hits.
