Tim Fischer
Tigerfest
On the 100th birthday of Georg Kreisler | Musical direction: Oliver Potratz
For the 100th birthday of the king of black humour, Tim Fischer finally lets Georg Kreisler's cats of prey out of the bag again! Under the musical direction of bassist Oliver Potratz, with Sebastian Weiß on piano and Hauke Renken on vibraphone, Tim Fischer brings Kreisler's figures to life in his musical homage and, as a kind of medium, tickles the absurd comedy out of the songs with their...

Sven Ratzke
„Where Are We Now“
The press and the public are of one mind: hardly any other artist comes as close to David Bowie as Sven Ratzke. Bowie personally gave Ratzke his permission to avail of his entire works. The resulting STARMAN tour was a great success. Ratzke is now venturing once again into the universe of this musical legend – different, intimate, with only Ratzke’s voice and a virtuoso on the piano (Jetse...

Gayle Tufts & Rainer Bielfeldt
UNEXPECTED ZUGABE
"Timeless songs by the cabaret titans of the nineties" wrote the Morgenpost: Gayle Tufts & Rainer Bielfeldt - one night only in the BAR JEDER VERNUNFT. The two were the dream team of Berlin entertainment – Gayle Tufts and the "German Elton John": 10 years, 8 shows together - some of them were sold out for months. Then, in 2003, they separated and both successfully went solo. And now, after 18...

Atrin Madani singt von Liebe
On the piano: Paul Hankinson
Atrin Madani and Paul Hankinson, two world travelers in music: one a young jazz singer from Schöneberg with Persian roots and a dreamlike voice, the other, delightfully remembered by insiders as Montmorensy, a musical genius on the piano from Australia.

Florian Wagner
Funk You
His virtuoso piano playing is a reminiscent of a “mixture of Billy Joel and Keith Jarrett“ (Münchner Merkur), his lyrics cause “immediate fits of laughter in the audience“ (Sächsische Zeitung) and “he sings as beautifully as Michael Bublé“ (His Mom). In “Funk You“ the pianist and singer explains how Mozart would have written "Atemlos" and whether Beethoven was really deaf.

Anna Mateur & The Beuys
Kaoshüter
She is groove and jazz and blues, she is humour and cabaret and comedy. She has been called a miracle voice or exceptional vocals, vocal acrobat or outstanding singer, her voice has been compared to Nina Hagen, Janis Joplin or Zarah Leander – all of this is true and still it is not enough to describe this wonder of nature. She dances, sings, screams and groans, she grunts, stomps and...
