Salut Salon - Heimat
Two violins, a cello, a piano - and an abundance of creative energy: Salut Salon are "Hamburg's most charming cultural export" (Hamburger Abendblatt).
For over 20 years, the four virtuosoes have been performing their "Masterpieces of 'classical' comedy" (The New York Times) in the most renowned concert halls worldwide, delighting their audience with wild escapades between Vivaldi and vocal acrobatics, tango and crime scenes, rap and Rachmaninov - "Wonderful!" (The Economic Times India).
With their new program "Heimat," Salut Salon will celebrate the finale of a concert trilogy starting in 2025: Following "Love" and "Dreams," the next great, almost all-encompassing theme emerges. A word that effortlessly rolls off the tongue. And yet, it immediately raises the question: What exactly is it?
Is Heimat a place? Tradition? A feeling? Is it the people surrounding you? Or perhaps words, languages, sounds? In any case, Heimat is a deeply moving topic - especially for the musicians of Salut Salon, who hail from far-flung homes between Hamburg and Estonia, Ukraine and the USA, and now perform together in every corner of the world. Throughout these journeys, the quartet has gathered pieces of various colors, with open ears and a fine sense for selection. And precisely these they now bring to the stage in unmistakable Salut Salon style: works by Mozart, Saint-Saëns, or Copland, songs from Finland, France, China, and Egypt, unknown pieces, famous ones, their own compositions, and of course, as in every one of their programs: Tango Nuevo by Astor Piazzolla.
Pieces in which the question of the wondrous nature of this word resonates time and again, in various ways: Heimat - what is that? And with the dreamlike nonchalance with which the four musicians master this incredibly diverse sound cosmos and transform it into a wonderful concert evening, they also provide their own answer: Salut Salon are at home in the world - and their homeland is music.
