They have been together for a quarter of a century, have played over 2,000 concerts, released 12 CDs and sold over 50,000 copies: Wildes Holz are an exceptional phenomenon in the German music scene. Because they have achieved all this with, well, unconventional instrumentation: guitar, double bass - and the common recorder. Tobias Reisige proves it impressively, it is not for nothing that he is now called the "king of the recorder" (WAZ). And Wildes Holz don't care about genre boundaries. Rock, pop, jazz, classical, electronic - the more impossible a realisation on their wooden instruments seems, the more enthusiastically they prove the opposite. In doing so, they create a completely new genre: instrumental wood rock. To mark their anniversary, Wildes Holz will present their new programme "25 Jahre auf dem Holzweg" on Saturday, 4 May at 8 p.m. in the Bürgerhaus Nieder-Roden, Römerstraße 15. From their beginnings as street musicians to their first CDs and their current hits, they will review the highlights of their creative phases. They will also talk about their experiences on and off the stage, about bizarre encounters, funny anecdotes and moving moments. With plenty of humour, charm and enthusiasm, they take the audience on their very special journey through the world of music. It quickly becomes clear that this journey is far from over. Advance tickets from 17 euros are available at the Agentur für Kultur, Sport und Ehrenamt in the Alte Apotheke, Schwesternstraße 10, as well as online at www.frankfurtticket.de. Remaining tickets can be purchased at the box office from 7 pm.
