ROCK meets CLASSIC
The German guitar legend Siggi Schwarz has been touring since 2015, successfully with his crossover project "Rock meets Classic," with a total of over 70 performances together with well-known philharmonic orchestras throughout Germany. Schwarz released one album each in 2015 and 2017 together with the Ulm Philharmonic, which were published worldwide by Sony Music, featuring special guests like "Toto" vocalist Bobby Kimball and Chris Thompson, the voice of the "Manfred Mann's Earthband" hits.
On the program of Siggi Schwarz on November 21, 2026, at the Walter-Schmid-Halle in Giengen, are the highlights of rock history, such as 'Don’t stop Believin’', "Rock you like a Hurricane," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Jump," "Stairway to Heaven," "Hotel California," "Blinded by the Light," "Africa," "Final Countdown," or "Music." The orchestral arrangements were written with the participation of Siggi Schwarz.
The rock band and the orchestra create a wonderful fusion of sound, dynamics, and harmony. The audience will be taken on a time travel through rock history with popular rock classics.
Exceptional singer Markus Engelstaedter, who is among the best Queen and Freddie Mercury interpreters in Europe with his four-octave voice, and the emotional and virtuoso guitar playing of Siggi Schwarz make this format something very special. Siggi Schwarz has worked with many rock legends throughout his career, such as Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Scorpions, Foreigner, Toto, Whitesnake, Santana, and ZZ Top - he is one of the influential German guitarists.
