Here are legends among themselves:
What would it sound like if Mozart and Freddie Mercury had written a piece together? Or if Pink Floyd and Claude Debussy teamed up? Amy Winehouse, Franz Schubert, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner — legends come together and merge into a unique program between classical and pop, presented with wit and intelligence, and through the one-of-a-kind (almost legendary) stage show of the FEUERBACH QUARTETT.

In their new special program "Summer In The City," the FEUERBACH QUARTETT brings vacation vibes. Tailored for summer festivals and open-air concerts, the quartet takes on the summer hits of the last decades — even centuries — in their refreshingly cheeky style. “I’m Walking On Sunshine” meets the baroque Fireworks Music by G.F. Handel, George Harrison's “Here Comes The Sun” is quickly translated into German by Rammstein with “Hier kommt die Sonne,” and Antonio Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” has a summer rendezvous with Joe Cocker and the Lovin’ Spoonfuls.

The FEUERBACH QUARTETT has put together a concert program that creates a symbiosis of the well-established chamber music tradition of Johannes Brahms, represented by his 1st String Quartet, Benjamin Britten, born in 1913, and his rarely performed “Simple Symphony,” which was famously premiered by a school orchestra in 1934, and, finally, the leading representatives of the so-called “light” music of the second half of the 20th century, often unjustly ridiculed by classical music audiences — The Beatles.

What began with exile, displacement, and oppression has often led to the most beautiful melodies in music history. We owe the diaspora not only blues and swing but also samba, tango, klezmer, and the music of the Sinti and Roma.  

At the forefront is an instrument that, like no other, is capable of telling the heartbreaking yet humorous stories of the homeless: the violin. It is the focus of the new program by Max Eisinger’s Tacheles: “Music from the Diaspora.”

For many years, they’ve been celebrating international successes with the Feuerbach Quartett, and now they’ve come together as a new duo: MAKRO. Max Eisinger (violin) and Lukas Kroczek (cello) play original compositions blending classical, jazz, and indie rock. Radical rhythms meet colorful harmonies, virtuoso improvisations meet catchy refrains.  

The program is expanded with arrangements of classical originals like Halvorsen's Passacaglia and Bach's Goldberg Variations, as well as jazz standards by Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Django Reinhardt.

At Christmas time, violin meets cello, and classical meets swing:  
Bach’s Christmas Oratorio merges in a program with "Let It Snow" and Tchaikovsky’s "The Sugar Plum Fairy".
When Santa Claus comes to town, he dances to Piazzolla’s Libertango and revels in Schubert’s "Ave Maria", before Wham! brings him back to the present with "Last Christmas".  

Makro’s X-Mas Special combines reflection with humor and tradition with avant-garde.
