The Klenze-Ensemble originated in 2015 from the Klenze String Quartet, which unites musicians from the Bavarian State Orchestra and the Munich Philharmonic.
It was the musicians' desire to dedicate themselves not only to chamber music, operas, and symphonic works but also to chamber ensemble playing. The uniqueness of this variable ensemble: It offers each member the opportunity to perform solo with the chamber orchestra.
Like in a good conversation, this way, each musician can tell something, and this is expressed through particularly great joy of playing.

The term “Seventies” is accurate but only partially describes “Sonic Love.” They are Glam AND Funk, Hardrock AND Disco. Deep Purple AND Mothers Finest. Rarely has a regional band managed to gain so many fans in such a short time. This is probably due to the amazing performances the band has delivered, for instance, at the Tübingen City Festival and in the large Sudhaus Hall. According to their own statement, the 4 bring together more than 100 years of intense stage experience: The Tübingen top musicians Thomas Maos (guitar), Jörg Honecker (bass), and Ralf Wettemann (drums) have made waves with the band "Dead Poets," while singer and frontman Boris "Attila" Kunz performed alongside Jörg and Ralf with "The Beatless" on the stages of relevant clubs.

"With SONIC LOVE, we combine the energy of rock with the groove of disco and funk and the musical finesse of soul," says bassist Jörg Honecker. And singer Boris is happy: "What could be better for a singer than to bring incredible songs to the stage with an incredible band?" While some seasoned cover bands are giving their farewell concerts, SONIC LOVE is now really turning it up!

Always very close to the spirit of the seventies, without clothing kitsch, but through amazing versions of great songs.
Authentic – Danceable – Worth listening to

Ten thousand concertgoers annually, standing ovations wherever they perform, millions of views on Instagram & YouTube, a fan culture like that of rock stars - welcome to Café del Mundo, the trendy guitar act.
It is their interplay, their unmistakable sound, their love for guitar playing like Paco de Lucía’s, combined with the joy of modern pop music like Coldplay or U2, that makes these two concert artists a unique musical experience.
Their approach to the masters Bach or De Falla is confident and sensitive. But Café del Mundo is more: together, the two guitarists unfold new, previously unheard sound worlds. The consequence is an audience thrilled worldwide.
They collaborate with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, produce in Abbey Road Studios, London, and fill hearts and venues even in Andalusia. With “80s unplugged,” Alex and Jan have their own radio show on Radio Ton.

Café del Mundo is pure joy of life. Alex and Jan create the art of true crossovers, true connections - with themselves and with the audience. This creates a magic every evening that resonates long after. “Audibly limitless” - that’s how guitar sounds today.

“GREAT CINEMA”
(Oliver Hochkeppel, Süddeutsche Zeitung)

Allgäu meets South India! With great ease, highest virtuosity, sophistication, and a pinch of humor, we connect the music of the Alps with that of South India. Here, jazz harmonies meet Indian ragas, which we play with grooves from around the world. “A furious musical spectacle,” wrote the Frankfurter Rundschau.
Musicians: Amith Nadig, B. C. Manjunath, and Matthias Schriefl

The multi-instrumentalist and professor of jazz trumpet at HMDK, Matthias Schriefl, a colorful personality in the jazz scene who has already had a remarkable international career, performs some of his own compositions and those of the band's guitarist. Schriefl "is among the best jazz trumpeters in the world" (Süddeutsche Zeitung) and is a "music lover and communicator without borders."
A harmonious blend of tradition and modernity emerges, a milk cow from the Allgäu chewing edelweiss pulls a broken Eastern European streetcar on which a New Orleans brass band plays, with Erwin Lehn and Miles Davis marching hand in hand with Indian dancers behind them. Matthias Schriefl has composed many pieces at over 2000 meters above sea level, inspired by ancient Allgäu folk songs and oxygen scarcity. They are full of quirky ideas, remaining anti-elitist and passionate in every note and gesture despite their broad theoretical background. Shuffle, Indian shifts, Bossa Nova, and punk rock meet the joy of play of the young soloists of the HMDK Big Band and Schriefl's endless arrangement ideas. Sometimes a polka melds with quirky harmonic changes and funk, then an alphorn melody harmonizes with New Orleans grooves. All harmonic, tone, and compositional laws are set aside, and imagination is stimulated.

Some works are polyrhythmically complex, while other melodies are so simple that they invite sing-alongs. With some titles, there is such a serious, intimate atmosphere that one simply wants to listen attentively with closed eyes. The sensitive mood of the songs is shaped by personal dedications as well as by the clear musical formulation of familiar feelings: love, loneliness, happiness, enthusiasm, and the simple joy of life.
The band will explore the question of whether jazz was truly invented in 1850 on the Grünten through a chance meeting of Allgäu folk musicians and the jazz yeti.
The ensemble features six saxophonists, five trumpeters, and two drummers – a remarkable double lineup that brings the polyrhythmic charm and pulsating grooves of the compositions to the forefront. The two drummers will also play timpani and percussion here and there.

It will be crowded on stage when 22 musicians squeeze onto the stage with over 70 instruments!
Despite this tightness, there remains plenty of room in all pieces for the creativity of the outstanding soloists of the HMDK Big Band and the special guest Prof. Felix Fromm (trombone).

Carried by the inspiration and passion of its members, the name
Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn (WKO) stands for a musical style that is both energetic and sensitive. Together with the highly esteemed competence of many soloists in empathetic accompaniment, this forms the artistic foundation for the impressive international success story of the orchestra.

The list of international guest soloists in recent years includes, among others, the names of Julia Fischer, Gautier Capuçon, Sabine Meyer, Frank Peter Zimmermann, Herbert Schuch, Johannes Moser, Sharon Kam, Daniel Müller-Schott, Asya Fateyeva, Alisa Weilerstein, Isabelle van Keulen, Lena Neudauer, Arabella Steinbacher, Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Bomsori Kim, Michael Barenboim, and Daniel Ottensamer.

WKO is the life’s work of Jörg Faerber. He founded the orchestra and led it to international renown. After Faerber and his visionary work, the Armenian conductor Ruben Gazarian took over in 2002. Under his direction, there was a significant expansion of the repertoire. This line was consistently followed by Case Scaglione, chief conductor from 2018 to 2024. Since autumn 2024, WKO has a new managing director, Katrin Kirsch, and a new musical director, the Estonian Risto Joost.

It is a joy to listen to the Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn. (...) the convincing fundamental characteristics of this ensemble: agile musicianship, spirit with clear, comprehensible contours, and additionally a warm sound that is not a given for a chamber orchestra of this intensity.
