A symbiosis of music and light poetry
Moonlight Concert is a unique musical experience that fascinatingly combines various genres and instrumentations. With vocals, saxophone, piano, guitar, Syrian darbuka, and percussion, a soundscape is created that enchants the senses and touches the hearts.
In a candlelit and moonlit atmosphere, five full-blooded instrumentalists take you into the world of moving instrumental and singer-songwriter music. Enriched with expressive settings of lyrical classics by Rainer Maria Rilke and rounded off with arrangements of classical music works from Domenico Scarlatti to Johann Sebastian Bach.
Moonlight Concert is a very special moment to be enchanted by the magic of a sensual atmosphere of poetic music. It is a journey into the world of poetry, brought to life through passionately extravagant music. Immerse yourself in this unique sound world and let yourself be touched by lyrical texts, atmospheric melodies, and captivating rhythms.
Cologne singer & songwriter Michael Schweiger, known as DER SCHWEIGER, invites renowned artists to this extraordinary musical concept.
With melancholic and sensuously graceful songs, Schweiger provides unusual insights into strangely intimate stories.
The Cologne musician continually discovers new musical impulses in an unconventional sound guise, creating a powerful balance between lightness and gravity.
Alongside PETER KLINKENBERG - the principal percussionist and timpanist of the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Syrian percussion virtuoso SHADI AL HOUSH captivates visitors with pulsating rhythms. SHADI AL HOSH unfolds an unexpectedly rhythmic kaleidoscope. In addition to the traditional darbuka drum, he employs the smaller riq with a jingling ring and the large daf - frame drum. ROMAN KUSHNIAROU, born in Minsk, received clarinet lessons from the age of 6 and later attended a music high school for gifted students. Numerous concert performances in Europe and Australia, collaborating with renowned orchestras. Also a sought-after saxophonist for ethno, world, and pop music.
BERND KRAMPE, a sought-after bassist in the Cologne music scene, sets accents with varied bass lines, and MORITZ GRÖGER, music producer and multi-instrumentalist, supports the rhythm section with classic drums and rounds off the ensemble with straight and groovy guitar riffs.
