For this family concert, the two formations Zugluft and Altfrentsche Besetzung will be on stage together, merging elements of Appenzell string music and jazz with imaginary folklore.
As free spirits of string music, violinist Matthias Lincke, Elias Menzi on the Appenzell dulcimer and Hiasl as bassist and yodeller combine their traditional roots with their urge for spontaneous musical expression. Since 2023, the Altfrentsche line-up has performed regularly in a quartet with violinist Andrea Kirchhofer. This has also led to collaborations with an expanded line-up, such as Aufhebung der Alpen and the Klangwelt Toggenburg project.
Clarinettist Bruno Strüby and Andrea Kirchhofer have worked together for more than twenty years in various bands and (theater) projects. Together they develop the music of Zugluft. As a rich ensemble with two violins, Appenzell dulcimer, double bass, bass and double bass clarinet, the quintet interprets Kirchhofer's compositions and pieces from the repertoire of both bands.
