Das Berger Havlicek Orchester

Theater Akzent, Wien

All five are sought-after soloists, each a luminary in their own right - but when they perform together, it's all about: hawedehre. Music in all shades, real treats to enjoy, there is no shortage of nonsense and irony dances with profundity. Music lies above, below, in front of and behind everything, and for those who have not yet experienced the wonders it can do, it is high time for these five gentlemen in a giving mood. Wolfram Berger plays lightly and passionately with text and music, with acumen and spontaneous bursts of comedic energy. A chameleon of acting who doesn't fit into any drawer - at most into a somewhat bulky chest of drawers without a lid with a confusing number of compartments. Peter Havlicek is one of the busiest, most passionate and most creative musicians on the local scene, co-founder of numerous formations between Schrammel music, jazz and classical music. With his Viennese contraguitar and his infectious cheerful nature, he keeps the whole thing sounding and shining. Wolfgang Puschnig is an extremely comedic musician of the highest caliber, a sensitive soloist, collaborator and exceptional talent. With his saxophone, he is one of the most influential, best and at the same time most unpretentious jazz musicians of our time. Christian Bakanic, composer and interpreter of tango nuevo, jazz, classical, contemporary and traditional music, plays with sensuality and virtuosity. It is thanks to musicians like him that the accordion has experienced a remarkable upswing in recent years. Peter Rosmanith's "percussion box" ranges from the African balafon to the Arabic frame drum and the Indian tablas to the Hang, and is expanded with everyday objects as the mood takes him. His hands can make music out of almost anything.
