Wildes Holz

In the organizer's words:

Tradition dictates a fateful role for the recorder at Christmas: No one actually wants to hear it, but it's just part of it somehow. So they practice day in, day out for months on end to wring Christmas sounds out of the little tinnitus simulator. But make no mistake: even real sounds can sound wrong! Even a flawless performance on this instrument can incur the silent wrath of relatives. This makes the recorder the perfect instrument for Christmas harmony.

Punk is not far away!

This is where the three musicians from Wildes Holz come into play: they combine the small wooden torture instrument with an acoustic guitar, a double bass and a good dose of rock'n'roll.

They secretly enjoy practicing new Christmas songs to see how far they can take it. The result is crazy music that combines virtuosity and trash, romance and disco. Classical music and rock shake hands, grunge and reggae meet with Maria im Dornwald.

Wilder every year!
