CHRIS HOPKINS meets the YOUNG LIONS
From Frank Sinatra to Louis Armstrong and beyond

German-American multi-instrumentalist Chris Hopkins, a multiple award-winner, ranks among the world's most prolific touring artists - with over 5,000 live concerts worldwide. For more than three decades, he has demonstrated how to live your dream, achieve success, and bring people together from around the world through music. Along his journey, he has frequently shared the stage with jazz legends such as Clark Terry, Scott Hamilton, Butch Miles, Till Brönner, and Götz Alsmann.

Equally skilled on piano and saxophone, he impresses with musical inventiveness and tremendous energy. He has participated in over 50 CD productions, many of which have received prestigious awards such as the "Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik" and the "Prix de l'Academie du Jazz, Paris". Recently, he was honored for his contributions to classical jazz in Europe, including the title "Keeper of the Flame" and the coveted "Jazz-Pott Award" as "Best Progressive Artist".

Since the 1990s, Chris Hopkins has often performed as the youngest band member. Now he is delighted to present, for the first time, some of the most talented jazz musicians of a new generation - discovered in part through his teaching position at Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, all between 23 and 33 years old - the "Young Lions" and their brand-new collaborative album "CHRIS HOPKINS meets the YOUNG LIONS: Live! Vol. 2".

The audience can expect a spectacular show featuring swing classics from Louis Armstrong to Count Basie and beyond, with melodic and energetic songs, as well as surprising instrument and lineup changes. Chris Hopkins and the Young Lions promise an irresistibly elegant, captivating, and entertaining concert with a feel-good guarantee.
