For many years, the man with the red trombone dreamed of celebrating a musical Christmas in the company of good friends and with a selection of very different Christmas carols that he had encountered over the course of his career. In 2006 the time had come, and because "Christmas With My Friends" was soon considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the most beautiful Christmas records ever recorded, several editions have since been produced. This format now also takes place with great regularity at the Rheingau Music Festival and attracts not only true jazz fans, but a broad audience during Advent to the beautiful Kurhaus Wiesbaden. With his musical confidants Jonas Knutsson, Johan Norberg, Clas Lassbo and the four singers Ida Sand, Sharon Dyall, Jessica Pilnäs and Jeanette Köhn, Nils Landgren ventures into traditional songs and cover versions of exquisite Christmas carols in this concert.

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.
