Christmas Hit Therapy

Overwhelming sensory overload from Christmas markets, sweet mulled wine, and a consumer frenzy during the supposedly most contemplative time of the year. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" sometimes just feels a bit too much! With the Christmas Schlager Therapy, Thomas Gansch now delivers a cheeky counterpoint to the festive circus of the Advent season.

Together with musical companions Sebastian Fuchsberger, Michael Hornek, and Leonhard Paul, as well as special guest Caroline Athanasiadis, Thomas Gansch invites you to escape into the Schlager universe of the good old days. From Connie Francis to Udo Jürgens: here, nostalgic songs are given new life – or rather, they are blown back to life. The quartet invites you to board the dream boat of love, where escapism and wanderlust meet on deck for a drink. This is followed by question after question: Where, oh where, is Dixieland? and Quando, quando, quando will Winter Wonderland and White Christmas finally arrive? The answers lie between virtuosic brass artistry and witty moderation. A celebration of love – especially for the ears.

During his trumpet studies, Thomas Gansch founded the cult formation Mnozil Brass in 1992. Co-founder Leonhard Paul significantly shaped their comedic style as a trombonist and arranger. Michael Hornek studied classical piano, percussion, and jazz piano. Sebastian Fuchsberger started as a trombonist with Mnozil Brass and Global Kryner and later made a name for himself internationally as an opera and concert singer. Multitalent Caroline Athanasiadis is a cabaret artist, singer, actress, and presenter, and has shared the stage with Thomas Gansch multiple times.
