Guest Concert

Alte Oper

This year, the party atmosphere will be on again when the Funk Unit, led by Nils Landgren and his red trombone, rocks the Schafhof stud farm. Following their concert two years ago on the lake stage in the impressive gardens of Vollrads Castle, these dedicated musicians are back this year at the Rheingau Music Festival, where they have already warmed up their audiences several times in the past. As always, brilliant brass sections alternate with ecstatic solos, and with danceable beats, brilliant tempo increases, cool vocals, and powerful melodies, this dream team of sweaty funk workers gets the crowd going. This band celebrates the groove – join in the fun!

New and old jazz stars such as Joe Sample, Kurt Weill and Michael Wollny are also highlighted in this innovative concert.

Nils Landgren Meets Sweden's Radio Symphony Orchestra

SR Berwaldhallen

A welcome guest at the Festspielhaus for years, Nils Landgren is one of the defining personalities of European jazz. For his 70th birthday and after 50 years on stage, he is fulfilling his long-cherished wish: performing concerts with a symphony orchestra. The arrangements are by Vince Mendoza, a Grammy-winning American composer and one of the most renowned orchestral arrangers of our time.
