When alphorns meet tango, when harp and flute engage in a musical dialogue with trombones and percussion, and when baroque, classical, romantic, and South American passion unite into a harmonious whole – then the ENSEMBLE GLISSANDO STUTTGART is once again a guest at the summer music festival in Neustift.

In 2026, the audience can expect an extraordinary concert experience with the ensemble featuring trombone legend Prof. Armin Rosin and the solo harpist of the Stuttgart Philharmonic, Emilie Jaulmes. Together with the renowned flutist Janine Schöllhorn, trombonists and alphorn soloists Darian Keller and Matthias Nassauer, as well as the versatile percussionist Claudius Heinzelmann, the musicians will present a program full of surprises, musical encounters, and tonal contrasts.

Under the motto “When the Alphorn Travels to Buenos Aires”, the ensemble spans a wide arc through music history. From Antonio Vivaldi’s baroque elegance to Mozart’s sprightly “Rondo alla turca” and Smetana’s famous sound journey along the Moldau to Astor Piazzolla’s passionate tango nuevo, a musical journey full of colors and moods unfolds. Even Paul McCartney’s timeless classic “Hey Jude” and traditional spirituals find their place in this varied concert program.

Program:
• Nimra Korinthos (*1939): Meditation – Pfrontner – Baptism of a Girl – Town Guard Fanfare
• Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741): Concerto in D major RV 93
  Allegro moderato – Largo – Allegro

The listener experiences a special event through the merging of various color facets and the dialogue of the instruments.

The passionate musicians dedicate themselves to modern arrangements of well-known works. Tailor-made arrangements, created specifically for the ENSEMBLE GLISSANDO STUTTGART by renowned classical and jazz arrangers as well as in-house work, highlight the exclusivity of the ensemble. The ensemble presents many concerts, including in the Munich Residence. Matthias Nassauer leads the program in his unmistakable manner.
