Swing meets Classic - Wiener Konzerthaus - 2027

Wiener Konzerthaus - Mozart Saal, Wien

A Valentine's Day concert where swing and classical music blend together! Gerhard Aflenzer Broadway Big Band; Elisabeth Heller, vocals; and special guest Florian Frühbeiss, vocals and host; Barbara Ortner String Ensemble; conducted by Gerhard Aflenzer. “Swing Meets Classic” takes you on a musical journey through time, paying tribute to the greatest big bands and several classical composers. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the concert will feature some of the most beautiful love song duets. The program features swinging arrangements of works by great composers such as Johann Strauss, Giuseppe Verdi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Stolz, and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as big band standards by Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Count Basie. Florian Frühbeiss takes on a dual role in this musical journey through time with the Gerhard Aflenzer Broadway Big Band. Not only does he guide the audience through the program as a charming and knowledgeable host, but he also performs classics by the legendary Rat Pack as a vocalist. Entertainer Elisabeth Heller makes her debut with Swing Meets Classic. As “Lissi & Herr Timpe,” she tours German-speaking theaters from South Tyrol to Hamburg together with her “Guten Morgen Orchester” and her partner and life companion Oliver Timpe. Her retro-schlager shows are bursting with creativity, and on the radio, too, she’s bringing her unmistakable vintage sound back into the mainstream with her own songs.
