Boogie-Woogie Double Power in Traunstein: Two Pianos, One Irresistible Groove
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Jörg Hegemann and Peter Reber will transform NUTS – the cultural factory in Traunstein into a vibrant Boogie-Woogie hotspot. Two concert grands, rapid bass lines, and sparkling melodies: Here, tradition meets joy of playing – a concert experience that smells of sweat, standing ovations, and broad smiles in the audience.
The Royal Discipline of Piano Blues
Boogie-Woogie on two pianos is considered the most thrilling form of this genre. The interplay requires precision, synchronization, and a fine sense of musically breathing as one instrument. Hegemann and Reber present classics from the old masters as well as their own pieces in an authentic style and spice up the evening with anecdotes from the early days of jazz – from Chicago to New York, from Meade Lux Lewis to Pete Johnson to Albert Ammons.
Masters of Their Craft: Profile, Sound, Personality
Jörg Hegemann is one of the defining custodians of classical Boogie-Woogie. Awarded the German Boogie-Woogie Award Pinetop as 'Pianist of the Year 2009', he impresses with a powerful left hand, imaginative orchestration of the right, and a stage performance that charges the live atmosphere. Concert series like the Boogie Woogie Congress in Essen bear his signature and attest to his curatorial expertise.
Peter Reber – often referred to in duo programs as Peter Botzleiner-Reber – has been Hegemann's sensitive partner since the 1990s. His tone is clear, rhythmically tight, and dialogic: perfect for call-and-response, unison runs, and dramatic crescendos in four-hand play. Together, both unleash a dramaturgy of groove, dynamics, and humorous moderation.
Soundscapes That Get Under Your Skin
Experience powerful bass figures, sparkling riffs, and crackling crescendos as the pianists cross arms, pass motifs, and excite the audience. The acoustics of NUTS – table-seated, close to the stage – enhance the intimacy and directness of the sound. The audience's mood reliably shifts from expectant murmurs to collective bobbing along.
Compass for Connoisseurs: Venue & Comfort
NUTS is centrally located in Traunstein (Crailsheimstraße 12) and is easily accessible by train and on foot. For those arriving by car, parking options are available at the train station (P1 Bahnhof-Parktunnel) and in the city center; often free in the evenings. Entry starts one hour before the concert begins, with drinks and small snacks available in the foyer – relaxed arrival guaranteed.
Conclusion
Two pianos, two characters, one common pulse: This concert bundles tradition, virtuosity, and entertainment into an evening that brings early jazz to life and strikes in the here and now. Those who love Boogie-Woogie – or want to finally understand it live – better book early and experience the full energy of this piano art in Traunstein.
