Alps & Glow

In this project, folk musical traditions meet jazz, intricate musicianship intertwines with captivating improvisations, and a Bavarian tune with a lot of humorous groove is translated into an Indian raga. What may initially sound like wild stylistic pluralism weaves together on stage into unique sound worlds that are melancholic, ecstatic, and humorous all at once. With Grammy-nominated musician Manu Delago, the frontman of the jazz sensation Shake Stew, Lukas Kranzelbinder, and the creative ingenuity of the radio.string.quartet, the project has performed sold-out and wildly celebrated tours through Austria, Germany, and Italy over the past two years, held its debut concert in the Grand Hall of the venerable Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and achieved a top position in the Austrian album charts with its debut album. Now, accordion virtuoso Christian Bakanic has joined as another band member, enriching the project's sound worlds with new and powerful facets.
