Takeover! by Miki meets Anna Lapwood* Anna Lapwood Orgel Mihalj Kekenj Violine | Takeover! Ensemble

In the organizer's words:

When classical music meets pop and the concert hall becomes a vibrant stage, Miki is not far away: violinist and crossover artist Mihalj Kekenj brings a breath of fresh air to the classical music scene with his Takeover! concerts bring a breath of fresh air to the classical music scene. With his chamber music Takeover! ensemble, he invites artists from pop, hip-hop and singer-songwriters such as. Max Mutzke, Milow, Max Herre or Joy Denalane and creates encounters that break boundaries and open up new worlds of sound. What began over ten years ago in the Philharmonie Essen has developed into a celebrated format that is now at home in Germany's major concert halls. The programs reflect the musical zeitgeist and translate it into the language of the classical concert hall: full of energy, surprising and immediately tangible.

Experience an extraordinary concert evening at Pro Arte with the ensemble Takeover! by Miki and the young organist Anna Lapwood, who inspires with her British charm, outstanding talent and creative openness. She is one of the best-known faces behind the organ. She combines classical music with modern sounds in a virtuoso and experimental manner, demonstrating the full expressive power of her instrument. With her celebrated "Midnight Sessions", she has brought the organ back into the limelight. She has over 500,000 followers on TikTok alone and her clips are clicked millions of times - it is not without reason that she is considered the "Taylor Swift of classical music."
