RICHIE BEIRACH TRIO – COMING TOGETHER
Richie Beirach (piano) - Regina Litvinova (keyb) - Christian Scheuber (dr)
Richie Beirach is an extraordinarily versatile musician, which is evident from his incredible career: He has played solo, as part of a trio, in a big band and in concerts with symphonic orchestras, and there are more than 400 CDs on which he can be heard. Whether he plays with Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Mike Brecker, Jack de Johnette, John Abercrombie or especially Dave Liebman and their joint band Quest or whether he is leader or sideman – his distinctive melodic and harmonic style is always there. Moreover, as a composer for Elm, Leaving and many others he is one of the most interesting musicians of the modern age.

THREE IN THE RED CIRCLE
Reiner Witzel (sax,fl) - Christian Scheuber (dr,perc,samples) - Joscha Oetz (b)
The three musicians work creatively in their trio lineup without a harmony instrument which makes the music remain human. When listening to the music you feel that the three musicians of „Drei im roten Kreis” (Three in the Red Circle) have mastered the art of scaling down orchestral film music to a trio setting and at the same time have the music of the film accompany their songs right under the surface.

MUSIC AND DANCE
A DANCE-JAZZ-FUSION"FUMMQ" (Ferenc und Magnus Mehl Quartett) feat. Elisa Badenes, Pablo von Sternenfels und Jesse Fraser
Together the dancers and musicians developed a special transgressive program that contains free elements and improvisations, as well as choreographed and arranged passages. The element of improvisation, especially, adds that certain something to this collaboration. It is omnipresent in jazz and allows a maximum degree of interaction.

CLASSICAL MUSIC AND CLASSIC-JAZZ
NEW!SONUS MOBILIS - Songs of Love and Death
European Music of the Renaissance - From Orlando di Lasso to Heinrich Schütz and John Dowland!
"All is vain". Vanitas, the idea that everything on this earth is passing and the conflict between human humility and self-confidence, old and modern times. It is this field of tension in which SONUS MOBILIS feel and play music from the renaissance to early baroque times. A respectful approach, yet a modern and innovative conception in terms of sound: the mysterious sound of the bass clarinet and the spherical chords and polyphone lines of the guitar build a ground on which the poet raises his voice. Join SONUS MOBILIS on a journey through Europe, with knights, nomads and bards, poets and romanticists, drunkards and melancholics, from Oswald von Wolkenstein to Orlando di Lasso to the royal court in London to John Dowland and Henry Purcell...

ENSEMBLE CLAZZIC
"Four musicians with the audacity to cross the borders between musical genres. A quartet that dares to bridge the gap between baroque music and jazz and is dedicated to the concept of "crossover", that seduces with Johann Sebastian Bach and bewitches with the magic of jazz, offering the public its extravagant programs with the highest passion.
This crossover ensemble brings together classical jazz musicians, jazz-playing classic players and classical musicians."
