Echo Klassik and Jazz Award wins, a Grammy nomination, rapturous acclaim, pure joie de vivre—the “Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion” have taken the world by storm, achieving what once seemed unthinkable. These musicians move with ease between classical and jazz, between Germany and Cuba, between concert halls and Hollywood. For their territory extends not only to the Semperoper in Dresden, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Musikhalle in Hamburg, and the philharmonic halls from Berlin to Munich and Kuala Lumpur—they can also be heard in blockbuster films such as “Collateral” with Tom Cruise and “Hitch” with Will Smith.

Program

Bach, Beethoven, Bizet—sparkling in a cocktail of salsa, son, and merengue
