Chez Fria
From Hildegard von Bingen to Johann Sebastian Bach, twelve-tone music, and all the way to electro, funk, and jazz – Chez Fría transcends genre boundaries and dares to fuse the most diverse musical styles. In search of sounds, harmonies, and rhythms, they explore centuries of music and interpret them with a contemporary pulse. With synthesizer, percussion, trumpet, and recorder – playfully yet always with unwavering dedication to the music.

VogelLettner
The two musicians' project represents the special production process they have embarked on. Spontaneously improvised playing is transcribed, reassembled, arranged, placed in a rhythmic environment, and then re-recorded on their instruments. VogelLettner stands for energetic, structured improvisation, full of creativity and surprising twists.

Purple Muscle Car
Purple Muscle Car have been on the road since the end of 2022, taking their audiences on musical journeys. These often take them to the urban regions of the world, where the sounds of jazz cafés, hip hop, indie and EDM clubs as well as large concert halls merge into an exciting mix. Chases on winding coastal roads followed by reconciliation in a beach café are just as much a part of the program as leisurely cruising with cruise control on the freeway towards the sunset in order to catch the midnight special at the American Diner. The disco ball on the inside of the car roof can be activated at any time, and the imaginary journey towards the Milky Way can be continued late at night with the telescope from the trunk.
