Wolfgang Lackerschmid, whose vibraphone playing is equally fascinating in its highly emotional and technically adept way, has found an ideal duo partner in the singer Stefanie Schlesinger (“pleasantly timbred voice”, “expressive jazz feeling”).
The repertoire of the two has constantly developed over the many years of their concerts through common preferences and projects, so that not only the selection of the music, but also the stories behind it make their duo concerts something very special. Own compositions, songs from the “”American Songbook””, film songs or jazzy interpretations of classical arias are on the program.

WOLFGANG LACKERSCHMID (vibraphone) is equally successful as a vibraphonist, bandleader and composer. On over 200 recordings and countless live concerts he has played with Chet Baker, Attila Zoller, Larry Coryell, Buster Williams, Paquito D’Rivera, Tony Scott, Jacques Loussier, Eberhard Weber, Albert Mangelsdorff, Wolfgang Dauner, Stefanie Schlesinger, Andy Bey, Lynne Arriale, Mark Soskin, Duduka da Fonseca as well as at various international Vibraphone Summits. He has written numerous songs and jazz titles, concertante works for orchestra, choir and ensembles, as well as music for theater, ballet, films and radio plays.

STEFANIE SCHLESINGER (vocals) studied classical singing in Augsburg. With her own sound, the native of Bamberg combines fresh standard interpretations and jazz variants of classical arias with modern repertoire, including poetry settings. Many of her pieces are from her own pen or from the extensive song oeuvre of her partner Wolfgang Lackerschmid. With him she also developed the stage form of the musiclet, in which the two combine the possibilities of (musical) theater and jazz. CD releases on ENJA-Records, HGBS and her own label hipjazz.

MARTIN AUER (trumpet) has been teaching jazz trumpet as a major subject at the Leipzig Academy of Music since 2008. He has played with Pat Metheny, Lee Konitz, Clark Terry, Roberta Gamberini, Tony Lakatos, Wolfgang Dauner, Gary Burton, Ack van Rooyen, Richie Beirach, Nils Landgren, Lyambiko, Albert Mangelsdorff, Bobby Shew, Al Porcino, Ralph Lalama, SWR Big Band, HR Big Band, WDR Big Band, Kammerorchester Leipzig, SR-Sinfonieorchester, among others, also with: David Garrett, Udo Jürgens, Die Fantastischen Vier, Nina Hagen, Cyndi Lauper, Katja Ebstein, and many more.
