Alpine Swing with Urban Flair: Diknu Schneeberger & Bakanic Quartet in Starnberg
When Gypsy Jazz meets Tango, Balkan Groove, and new folk music, it creates not an ordinary concert evening, but a sonorous road trip. On November 12, 2026, the Schneeberger & Bakanic Quartet will bring its program Bella Via to the Schlossberghalle Starnberg, continuing the Swing Manouche series. The evening begins at 7:30 PM, with entry and a bar service and dance workshop starting at 6:30 PM.
Virtuosity that immediately gets into motion
Diknu Schneeberger is considered one of the most prominent guitarists in Gypsy Swing, while Christian Bakanic is seen as a stylistic boundary-crosser with accordion and steirische harmonica. Together, they create a sound that oscillates between precise orchestration and spontaneous improvisation. Catchy melodies, fine rhythmic synchronization, and a warm, acoustic pressure give the quartet that live atmosphere for which it is appreciated on large stages and festivals.
A program like a musical journey
Bella Via connects to the debut album Avanti, Avanti released in 2023 and continues the concept of Alpine Swing consistently. Gypsy Jazz, Tango, world music, and folkloric colors merge into a vibrant stage performance that offers both contemplative moments as well as danceable grooves. Particularly appealing: the compositions arise in close collaboration between Schneeberger and Bakanic and thrive on their passion for unusual sound connections.
Strong artistic signature with recognized background
The quartet's track record speaks for itself: Schneeberger was already perceived as a shooting star with his debut Rubina, and the ensemble looks back on performances at Wolkenturm Grafenegg, Brucknerhaus Linz, Konzerthaus Vienna, and the Salzburg Festival. This creates authority without losing closeness to the audience. This exact mix is what makes the evening enticing: high technical precision, emotional directness, and a sound language that immediately creates images in the mind.
Schlossberghalle Starnberg as a suitable sound space
The Schlossberghalle is designed flexibly and barrier-free, featuring a stage, a spacious foyer with cloakroom and catering options, as well as parking spaces in the underground garage. For a concert of this kind, it is the ideal setting: close to the audience, easily accessible, and with enough space for focused listening and spontaneous participation. Those who wish can even use the dance workshop before the concert as a kickoff to the evening.
Conclusion: Swing Manouche promises a concert in Starnberg that oscillates between elegance and ecstasy, between intricate string work and rhythmic propulsion forward. Those who love modern Gypsy Jazz live atmosphere should not miss this evening.
