SINATRA TRIBUTE BAND & KENT STETLER
Special Guest: Brigitte Wullimann
On December 12, 2015, Frank Sinatra would have turned 100. The SINATRA TRIBUTE BAND honored the artist and his six decades of continuous career with a fabulous show that showed that Ol 'Blue Eyes is immortal.
The fantastic anniversary program had musically traced Frank Sinatra's life stations and was so successful that demand continues to this day.
So we decided to take a new version of the concert show back to the actual programs

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.

TANGOLOGIA - HISTORIA DEL TANGO
Join TANGOLOGIA on their journey and experience, how Waltz, Mazurka, Milonga and Habanera meet each other in a wild chaos at the Rio del Plata and transform into the first Tango Argentino, how slowly the musicians become more professional and the representants of the “Guardia Vieja” such as Angel Gregorio Villoldo (“El Choclo”) or Vicente Greco (“Ojos Negros”) take over and the Tango finds its way through the brothels and nightclubs of Buenos Aires into the fine European ballrooms and saloons.
