Chris Hopkins Meets The Young Lions

When the award-winning German-American Chris Hopkins takes to the stage, jazz lovers can look forward to a concert experience in a class of its own. As one of the busiest international artists of his generation, the virtuoso multi-instrumentalist can look back on over 5,000 performances worldwide and prestigious awards such as the "German Record Critics' Award". In his current program "Swing into Spring", he now builds a fascinating bridge between tradition and modernity: together with the "Young Lions" - talented newcomers to the current jazz scene - Hopkins presents a spectacular show that breathes new life into the glamour of the great era from Frank Sinatra to Louis Armstrong.

The audience can expect an irresistibly casual yet highly elegant program, ranging from melodious vocal numbers to fast-paced instrumentals. With a playful wealth of ideas, surprising line-up changes and a good dose of drive, Chris Hopkins and his young soloists promise an evening full of energy and guaranteed good humor.
