Projects
Taking on social responsibility is a matter close to our hearts. We are particularly committed to ecological and social issues. It is important to us that our actions are always for a cause and contain constructive aspects. In addition to traditional benefit concerts, we try to draw attention to problems or grievances with our instruments and our music. We play to delight and support the participants, to deescalate the situation if possible, but above all to reach and sensitize a broad audience. We live in a democratic society and so much is possible in this society when democracy is practiced!

We are also excited! Experience…
