CARNIVAL CONCERT AND MUSICAL CABARET

"AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE MS MERING - BIG STARS ON STAGE"

ILONA CUDEK & FRIENDS (MUNICH PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA)

Saturday, 24.01.2026 - Veranstaltungs-Forum Ludwig Park GmbH

Under the title "Around the world with the MS Mering - Big Stars on Stage", Ilona Cudek & Friends present the big hits and guarantee a perfect start to the coming carnival season.

When Ilona Cudek, deputy section leader of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, leaves the boundaries of classical music, the stage becomes a magical world full of surprises. In her unique performances, she easily slips into the roles of icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, the Queen of the Night, Elvis Presley, Luciano Pavarotti and even Miss Marple - especially at her carnival concerts.

With her natural and crazy charm, she combines virtuosity on the violin with acting and entertainment. Her performances are a captivating mixture of musical skill, humor and a pinch of theatricality - an experience that delights and amazes the audience.

Whether as a soloist in concerts with various orchestras at home and abroad, in a string quartet ("Münchner Philharmoniker auf Abwegen"), in the Verdandi piano trio or in a jazz quartet - she knows how to unite classical music, jazz, music of the Roma tradition, tango, film music and elements of pop culture in an incomparable way and touch the hearts of the audience.
