Tim Fischer honors the great chanson singer Hildegard Knef, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday at the end of December 2025, with a glamorous concert evening, embodying the cult star to the core. A truly heartfelt affair for the singing actor, who became a fan as a teenager and has always been fascinated and inspired by Knef's enormous range. Accompanied with stylish and virtuoso style by his excellent band, consisting of pianist, arranger, and musical director Mathias Weibrich, Lars Hansen on bass, and Bernd Oezsevim on drums, "the master of chanson," as Tim Fischer was dubbed by the Hannoversche Allgemeine newspaper, passionately immerses himself in the song world of the versatile artist.

Matt White’s Dolly is a reimagining of the early music of Dolly Parton, combining her incredible song writing and lyrics with contemporary musical styles and improvisation. Currently the Chair of Jazz Studies at the University of South Carolina, Matt was drawn to Dolly’s early career and imagined how her music, often tackling themes of poverty and gender equality, could be reconstructed by connecting southern roots music with contemporary styles and production. Don’t miss this world premiere of Matt White’s Dolly at the 2023 Charleston Jazz Festival!
