Crossing Strings - Fingerstyle meets Jazz & Klassik

In the organizer's words:

A duo that could not be more different at first glance, a duo in which two seemingly completely different worlds collide.

Consisting of Carina Maria Linder, who dedicated herself to classical guitar at the tender age of eight and has achieved considerable success at various international guitar competitions with the Cato Guitar Duo, and Markus Schlesinger, the internationally touring fingerstyle guitarist and founder of the Vienna Fingerstyle Festival, who complements this duo with his refined original compositions and groovy arrangements of well-known songs.

The program of the two professionals in their respective fields is a varied mix of self-arranged classical, jazzy and pop evergreens, buried and unearthed treasures and two voices that round it off with both impulsive intensity and playful ease. By building a bridge between two seemingly contradictory worlds, this duo indulges in a multi-faceted symbiosis of classical, jazz and popular music to transport the audience into completely new and unknown musical spheres.
