In the first part of the evening, pianists and keyboardists Elias Tiefenbacher and Philipp Laher, both students of Martin Gasselsberger, will present selections from their current musical work.

The Elias Tiefenbacher Trio combines sonic curiosity, rhythmic sophistication, and emotional directness to create its own musical language. In the classic lineup of piano, double bass, and drums, the band crafts a modern sound that oscillates between groove, improvisation, and melancholy.

Oprah Sol, led by Philipp Laher, is a contemporary jazz/fusion ensemble that blends composition, improvisation, and modern sound design. The music combines acoustic warmth with electronic textures, developing a distinct sonic identity from this fusion. The result is a vibrant, ever-changing soundscape—characterized by curiosity, intense interplay, and a forward-thinking understanding of jazz.
