Philipp Poisel - Adventskonzerte 2025

In the organizer's words:

Two chairs, two guitars and two microphones - that's all the two guitarists Jan Pascal and Alexander Kilian need to touch hearts, enchant, sweep people off their feet and, overcoming all boundaries, unleash a wide range of emotions. Café del Mundo plays a unique sound. From the very first note, their finely tuned guitars radiate that southern joie de vivre that celebrates life and is deeply moving at the same time - that's what guitar sounds like today!

As artistic personalities, the two are opposites: Alexander Kilian is regarded as a guitar prodigy, highly virtuosic, extroverted and award-winning, he sometimes dances across the rows of chairs. Jan Pascal is the poet with depth, meaning and a feel for the melodies of life. A concert by Café del Mundo is an experience, an encounter, a tribute to the great love of life, to the connectedness of everything and everyone and to the pure joy of the moment - "guitartainment" - that's how we love it.

Two musicians, for whom there seems to be no place in the conventional system, meet by chance at a workshop given by the one who is twelve years older. They are very different, but immediately find each other and live their common dream: to open up their instrument, the Andalusian flamenco guitar, to the public worldwide. A decade of hard work followed, crossing the desert to find a niche. The breakthrough came during the pandemic with their very own, sensitive yet energetic arrangements of classics from pop and film music. "Viva la Vida" receives 1.5 million views at first, "Una Mattina" has over 120 million streams on Instagram. Worldwide concert invitations follow.

The new GuitarRevolution Symphonic tour will not only be dedicated to their album Symphonic. Together with the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt - which has already worked with musicians such as Deep Purple, Peter Gabriel, David Garett and Robbie Williams - the duo will present their very own mix of great rock and pop hits, traditional works and original compositions.
