MozART Group

Comedy concert for a string quartet from Poland in tails with a ping-pong ball

Filip Jaślar (violin), Michał Sikorski (violin), Paweł Kowaluk (viola), Bolesław Błaszczyk (cello)

A Little Night Music begins as it begins. You settle back - then a country line sneaks in, gets displaced by flamenco, and suddenly the beat comes not from the bows but from a ping-pong ball on a plate. Every so often someone yodels. And Mozart glides straight into Mambo No. 5.

That's how MozART Group works: not classical music with jokes on top, but classical music from which jokes emerge - because four very skilled musicians get to play with their craft. The quartet was founded in 1995, won the main prize at the Kraków cabaret competition on the first try, and has been touring roughly 40 countries ever since. Because the comedy works without words, audiences in Shanghai and San Diego laugh just as much as in Salzburg - or in Singen, where the quartet has already performed once.

Anyone who knows Mozart hears double here: the punchline once, the original once, the one it plays against. No prior knowledge needed - the show explains itself.

Reminder: when purchasing a reduced-price ticket, please present the appropriate proof of eligibility at the entrance.
