Christoph Reuter & Stephan Bormann

Christoph Reuter (p) and Stephan Bormann (g) have formed the instrumental counterpart in various vocal projects such as Cristin Claas or the Songland Trio for 25 years. Now the two exceptional musicians can be experienced live for the first time with their duo program "Indian Summer". They effortlessly span a musical arc from world music, jazzy ballads and tangos to powerful groove pieces. The different colors of the forests, which make the "Indian Summer" so multifaceted, are reflected in the compositions of the two musicians.

Stephan Bormann is Professor of Guitar Jazz/Rock/Pop at the Dresden University of Music; a specialist who can make a guitar sound like a full band - groovy and with a good dose of energy. He has released countless CDs (Hands On Strings, 10String Orchestra, Solo) and several books (Schott Music - Solo Guitar Book, Sounds Of the World). Christoph Reuter is a trained jazz pianist, but his secret love is percussion, which will also be an enriching stylistic device on this evening. He writes oratorios and orchestral works and is an award-winning cabaret artist with several programs. In 2021, Heyne Verlag published his first book "Alle sind musikalisch! (except some)" and his second in 2025.
