Explosive grooves and cinematic soundscapes in Bechersaal

On Saturday, March 6, 2027, the quartet Schiepek-Widauer will transform the Bechersaal in Bayreuth into a resonance space for modern jazz. Bangers & Ballads combines energetic rhythms with atmospheric ballads and takes the audience through a multifaceted sound panorama.

When rhythm meets atmosphere

The title says it all: explosive, rhythmically complex pieces alternate with lyrical and cinematic moments. Guitarist Philipp Schiepek and trumpeter Lorenz Widauer, along with Michael Acker on bass and Matheus Jardim on drums, develop a lively dialogue in which groove, dynamics, and improvised lines intertwine closely.

Four voices, a distinct sound

The music thrives on the precise synchronization of the rhythm section, Schiepek's differentiated guitar sound, and Widauer's expressive trumpet. Rather than foregrounding virtuosity, the interplay takes center stage: every twist arises from attentive listening, controlled tension, and spontaneous reaction.

Distinguished musical personalities

Philipp Schiepek is among the prominent guitarists of the young German jazz scene. He has received, among other honors, the Bavarian Arts Promotion Prize and is a professor of jazz guitar at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich. Lorenz Widauer, who hails from Salzburg, was the solo trumpeter in the Jedermann production at the Salzburg Festival, won the Hubert von Goisern Cultural Award and the ARTEDEA competition, and has worked with renowned ensembles and musicians from the international jazz scene.

A concert between bangers and ballads

The program is based on the album Bangers & Ballads, released in 2026 by Wooden Waggon Records. The compositions bridge powerful grooves, open improvisational spaces, and finely orchestrated sound colors. This creates a stage performance that appeals to jazz lovers as well as curious explorers of contemporary music.

Conclusion: modern jazz with immediate live energy

The audience in the Bechersaal can expect an intense concert experience full of movement, contrasts, and musical joy. Anyone wanting to experience the dialogue between trumpet, guitar, bass, and drums up close should not miss this jazz concert in Bayreuth.
