‘Hamburg's most charming cultural export’ comes to the North Sea on 11 March 2025
Two violins, a cello, a piano - and an abundance of creative energy: Salut Salon are ‘Hamburg's most charming cultural export’ (Hamburger Abendblatt). For over 20 years, the four virtuosos have been performing their ‘masterpieces of “classical” comedy’ (The New York Times) in the world's most renowned concert halls, delighting their audiences with ludicrous parade rides between Vivaldi and vocal acrobatics, tango and crime scene, rap and Rachmaninov - ‘Wonderful!’ (The Economic Times India). (The Economic Times India).
With their new programme ‘Heimat’, Salut Salon celebrate the finale of a concert trilogy from 2025: ‘Love’ and ‘Dreams’ are now followed by the next big, almost all-encompassing theme. A word that comes naturally to the lips. And yet it immediately raises the question: What exactly is it exactly? Is home a place? A tradition? A feeling? Is it the people who surround you? Or perhaps words, languages, sounds? In any case, home is a very moving subject - especially for the musicians of Salut Salon, who come from widely scattered homelands between Hamburg and Estonia, Ukraine and the USA and now perform together in all corners of the world.
On all these journeys, the quartet, with open ears and a keen instinct, has collected pieces of all kinds. And it is precisely these that they now bring to the stage in unmistakable Salut Salon style: works by Mozart, Saint-Saëns or Copeland, songs from Finland, France, China and Egypt, the unknown, the famous, their own compositions and, of course, as in every one of their programmes: Tango Nuevo by Astor Piazzolla. Pieces in which the question of the wondrous nature of this word resonates again and again, in the most diverse ways: Home - what is it? And with the somnambulistic naturalness with which the four musicians tame this incredibly diverse cosmos of sound and transform it into a wonderful concert evening, they also give their very own answer: Salut Salon are at home in the world - and their home is music.
Experience Salut Salon on 11 March 2025 exclusively at Dünen-Hus St. Peter-Ording in front of a small, intimate audience, presented by StrandGut Resort St. Peter-Ording.
