Andreas Vollenweider & Friends – Additional performance

Using an electroacoustic harp of his own design to play his tranquil, hypnotic, gently melodic and primarily instrumental songs, the Swiss Grammy-winner Andreas Vollenweider has stood among the giants of the New Age scene since the late ’70s. Any description of his style deserves much more detail, though, since his music incorporates a great many elements, ranging from art pop, smooth jazz/fusion, contemporary and folk influences to post-minimalist ambient sounds. In addition to his legendary records, he has also composed music that stimulates the neural development of pre-term babies. This humanist artist and his fellow musicians are bringing us a selection of songs encompassing over four decades (with a special focus on 1983’s Caverna Magica) for a concert offering the audience hope, motivation and a chance to recharge their batteries.
