Herbert Pixner Projekt

The South Tyrolese musician Herbert Pixner and his band specialise in »handmade« instrumental music from the Alps. Between them, the four musicians play a huge number of instruments, among them – as you might expect – the button accordion which is so typical of the Alpine region. Pixner also plays the clarinet, trumpet and horn. The band’s distinctive sound is an Alpine interpretation of flamenco, gipsy jazz, blues and rock. After 1,000 concerts and a musical hiatus in 2017, the Herbert Pixner Projekt makes a comeback with new ideas and a new show at the Elbphilharmonie: »electrifying«.
