An evening between archaic pulse and fine sonic magic
Trance and Rhythm brings an unusually refined chamber music experience to the stage in the Balcony Hall of the Friedrichsforum Bayreuth on June 24, 2026: Cello meets vibraphone, warmth meets brilliance, structure meets improvisation. The duo Anna Carewe and Oli Bott combines classical precision with playful openness, shaping an evening that moves between concert, sound journey, and quiet ecstasy.

When strings and mallets speak the same language
The special charm of this program lies in the dialogue of colors: The cello provides depth, breath, and grounding, while the vibraphone floats above like light on water. On their album Trance & Rhythm, Carewe and Bott reinterpret works from classical music and jazz, from Bach to Satie, from Ellington to Jobim. This stylistic breadth makes the program so exciting: from small orchestration emerges a large, sensitive live concert experience.

Bayreuth gets a space for nuances
The Balcony Hall in the Friedrichsforum is considered a flexibly usable stage for smaller formats and is wheelchair accessible. With its adaptable seating and mobile podium stage, it creates an intimate setting where even subtle dynamic gradations can have an immediate effect. For a duo like Carewe/Bott, this proximity is ideal: every touch, every phrase, every synchronization in playing together becomes audible and physically perceptible.

A program with historical scope
The music of Trance and Rhythm opens spaces across centuries. The documented recordings of the duo show a dramaturgically intelligent mix of early music, classical, jazz, and contemporary styles. This breadth lends authority to the concert: no routine repertoire is played here, but a well-thought-out concept that immerses the familiar in fresh sound colors and fills the concert hall with an almost trance-like concentration.

Conclusion: Chamber music with a magnetic effect
Anyone looking for a concert in Bayreuth with fine acoustics, dense atmosphere, and artistic quality will experience an evening for open ears and curious hearts here. Trance and Rhythm promises no grand spectacle, but something more valuable: genuine closeness to the music, living tension, and an echo that remains. Be there live and experience this special duo in the Friedrichsforum. ([friedrichsforum.de](https://www.friedrichsforum.de/spielstaetten?utm_source=openai))
