“Karolina & Iwo -- prize-winning, versatile violin and classical accordion duo -- present their take on the famous set of Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi and Astor Piazzolla. Four baroque violin concertos interlaced with four thrilling tango classics from Argentinian bandoneon master, in original arrangements of a duo so well-matched, that sounds like one instrument.” (Maxim Vengerov)

“One of the must-see duos of the classical music scene” - Bohemians, New York

Join avant-jazz pianist and composer Matthew Shipp for an evening of music from his most recent release "The Cosmic Piano"!

Shipp has been referred to as the "elder statesman" of avant-jazz by DownBeat magazine, but the reach and scope of his music extends much further than mere genre. The Cosmic Piano delivers on that promise - a solo recording that taps into the deeper exploratory potential of the instrument, with Shipp channeling a lifetime of knowledge and a daunting array of influences into nearly an hour of spontaneous, enlightened and joyfully rendered music.

For thirty-five years Ensemble Galilei has been dreaming a new language of musical expression. Come to An die Musik Live to hear them and celebrate their bold and compelling There I Long To Be, a new release that takes listeners on a journey from 17th century England to 21th century America, from the traditions of Norway to those of Scotland.
