Michael Alf Trio – Swinging Christmas at the Christkindlmarkt Traunstein

Boogie, Swing, and Christmas Glitter: An Evening with the Michael Alf Trio

On December 23, 2025, the Michael Alf Trio transforms the Christkindlmarkt stage at the Traunstein town square into a sparkling open-air concert. Amidst string lights and the aroma of cinnamon and almonds, a live atmosphere is created that warms the pulse and heart – Boogie, Swing, Latin, and Christmas classics in perfect synchronization.

Rhythm that Moves: Boogie-Woogie with Class

Michael Alf – pianist and singer from Starnberg – has been known for explosive Boogie-Woogie phrases, tasteful orchestration, and smooth sound for decades. By his side, Hans Baltin on double bass and Manni Müller on percussion and vocals provide a dynamic foundation. The trio plays with precise directional gestures, letting themes shine, varying grooves, and painting with colors of sound – from casual blues lines to danceable swing patterns.

Light, Sound, Emotion: The Audience's Mood Matters

When the first chords roll over the square, hands rise to the beat, glasses clink, voices cheer. The concert experience thrives on closeness: no bombast, but clear, direct sound that fills the town square. The stage performance remains elegant and energetic, the acoustics of the square support the piano, the bass pumps warmly, and the percussion sparkles like frost in the glow of the stalls.

Christmas Songs with a Swing Flair

Familiar Christmas melodies get a Boogie boost, pop and film music sparkle, and Latin embellishments spread warmth in the winter air. Between classics, the trio aesthetically cites the tradition of great Boogie pioneers – always unique, never nostalgic. Result: A set that reaches both the heart and the feet equally.

Expertise on Stage

The trio impresses with knowledge and stylistic awareness: clear form parts, tidy arrangements, differentiated dynamics, fine cadences. Press and event reports have recognized Michael Alf for years as an outstanding representative of Boogie, Blues, and Swing; viral live clips of his trio reached millions of viewers online.
