Släpstick
In Schërzo, Släpstick’s quirky, exciting, and hilarious view on classical music, nothing is what it seems. The five musical versatilists take you on a comical journey along the masterpieces of Rossini, Brahms, Saint-Saëns, Gershwin, and many other illustrious composers. The quintet plays the great classics in an inimitable way, while also honoring comedy heroes such as Victor Borge, Mini & Maxi, Danny Kaye, and Charlie Chaplin.
The musical term ‘scherzo’ (Italian for banter, joke) means a short, vibrant piece. And in Schërzo, Släpstick likes to stretch this definition a little further. Because when physical theater and top musicians with a great sense of timing and humor come together, you can be expecting a yodeling Schubert in a ventriloquism battle with Beethoven, a speed demon on the double bass and of course the ’21 masterpieces in 1 minute’.
