To celebrate their tenth anniversary, piano virtuosos Sebastian Knauer, Martin Tingvall, Joja Wendt and Axel Zwingenberger are joining forces once again and going on tour together for the first time. With their program FOUR PIANISTS - A CONCERT, they can be experienced live on stage in nine cities in 2026, including the Stuttgart Theaterhaus on 16 September 2026.
Sebastian Knauer, Martin Tingvall, Joja Wendt and Axel Zwingenberger played together for the first time in Hamburg in the summer of 2016 - and since then they have performed there almost every year at a joint concert in the Hamburg State Opera or the Elbphilharmonie. To mark their anniversary, the four pianists are reuniting and presenting their program full of surprises and musical colors for the first time on tour in Wiesbaden, Berlin, Hamburg, Münster, Stuttgart, Rostock, Munich, Erfurt and Baden-Baden.
The four pianists' different musical backgrounds come together in an original program. Each pianist is given his own space, while unusual pairs are also brought together at the piano time and again: The classical virtuoso plays with the boogie woogie master, the jazz pianist leads the way to the blues with colorful harmonies and together they create an improvisation. Sometimes the piano is played four-handed - and with two grand pianos on stage, eight-handed - and sometimes the pianists take turns during the piece and leave the piano bench free for the next one: a unique concert experience!
