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.

Andalusia captivates not only with its landscapes, cities, and beaches, but also with its multifaceted musical culture. From the sound of the classical Spanish guitar to folk music rich in cultural depth and passionate flamenco, a musical diversity unfolds here that brings tradition and history to life. As one of the most brilliant representatives of the new flamenco generation, Andrés Barrios will interpret a blend of classical Spanish works, jazz, and flamenco music in a concert that combines tradition and modernity. Accompanied by his ensemble colleagues on bass and percussion, as well as flamenco dancer Sara Sánchez, the audience will be swept into the heart of a country full of passion and mystery with every note and movement.
