The artistic vision focuses on the intersection of diverse musical genres, including jazz, rock, blues, tango, and flamenco. The performance highlights the virtuosic improvisation of Herbert Pixner's ensemble paired with the expansive soundscape of a full symphony orchestra. The production emphasizes passion, wit, and the joy of playing, creating a unique world music experience rooted in the Alps.
