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.

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Peter Douglas (Vocals), BOSCO

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.
