With “LIVE HOCH 2,” Peter Kraus & Mike Kraus present their first joint stage project, which combines music, family history, and personal bonds. The focus is on two generations of artists who bring different musical backgrounds to the table and blend them into a shared live program. The result is a unique blend of tradition, new influences, and a cross-generational dialogue that is shaped by both musical and personal connections.
