Wildes Holz & Spark – The Classical Band

Description

Powerful Spark Wildes Holz and Spark have been among the solid fixtures of the German concert scene for years – and that with an instrument you would hardly expect on the big stages of the world: the recorder.
While Wildes Holz casually swings between classical, rock, and jazz with recorder, guitar, and double bass, Spark combines recorders with the classical piano trio setup of violin, cello, and piano into a surprisingly new tonal context between classical, minimal music, and avant-garde. For their innovative programs, Spark was awarded the ECHO Klassik in 2011 and has since been delighting audiences internationally – including sold-out performances at the Barbican Centre as a soloist group before the London Symphony Orchestra, at the National Concert Hall Taipei, and at the Oriental Arts Center Shanghai.
Now, both formations are joining forces to form a 'Super Group' of the highest class. Because when Wildes Holz meets the sparks of Spark, "Mächtig Zunder" (Powerful Spark) is created. The fiery exchange between the two groups spans all eras and genres: from Bach to the Backstreet Boys and back! Sometimes the three recorders sing in close harmony style to "Mr. Sandman," then jazz tirades à la Charlie Parker can be experienced. Spark sweeps a baroque concert off the stage, and Wildes Holz embarks on the Highway to Hell. A concert full of surprising sound worlds, virtuosic joy of playing, and infectious energy – anything but ordinary. Tickets: €56 / €44 / €23 / €14
