Salut Salon

Three years after their debut at the Wedeler Musiktagen, Salut Salon return with their new programme heimat - a reunion that delights the artists, the festival, and the audience alike.

For over twenty years, the four musicians have captivated audiences in concert halls well beyond Germany with their distinctive blend of classical virtuosity, wit, pace, and playful crossings between genres - a combination the New York Times once called "classical comedy".

At the Johann-Rist-Forum, this programme finds a particularly fitting setting: the light-wood hall creates an intimate atmosphere and the kind of close proximity in which Salut Salon's stage energy, humour, and unexpected twists can fully unfold.

With heimat, Salut Salon continue their thematic trilogy following Liebe and Träume. They treat Heimat not as a clear-cut answer but as an open question: does it lie in a place, in people, in memories, in language - or perhaps in music?

Moving between classical music, tango, chanson, vocal acrobatics, and sudden shifts in direction, the programme weaves together wit, lightness, and genuine curiosity. Salut Salon explore their theme not through argument but through music - as a journey across styles, cultures, and sonic worlds.
