Jazz that captivates: W.H.'s Munich International 4tet ignites the Klosterkirche

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, Wolfgang Hanninger brings his Munich International 4tet to bring the 'Live Jazz Traunstein' series to life. Starting at 8:00 PM, a concert experience unfolds at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche, combining swinging elegance, earthy blues tones, and contemporary jazz – accessible, virtuosic, immediate.

Soundscapes with character: Acoustics that breathe

The former monastery church gathers sound like a finely tuned resonator: warm tenor saxophone tone, delicate guitar articulation, contoured bass, precise cymbals – a sound image that makes details audible. The orchestration remains transparent, and the synchronization of the four musicians feels like a breathing organism.

Between tradition and today: 'No jazz without blues'

More than just a motto. Hanninger's original compositions delve deeply into jazz history and lead it with modern drive into the present. Swing pulses meet blues statements, harmonic twists ignite, solos tell stories – always carried by stage performance and spontaneous communication.

The band: Precision, joy of playing, personality

Wolfgang Hanninger (tenor saxophone) leads with a flexible tone and narrative phrasing. Diego Riedemann (guitar) draws lines between bebop brilliance and lyrical calm, Ida Valentina Koch (bass) anchors with a springy foundation, and Xaver Hellmeier (drums) shapes energy with a differentiated ride and dynamic sound palette. The result: a live atmosphere mix of tension and lightness.

Expertise on stage: Biography with substance

Trained in Munich and Lausanne, connected with European scenes, Hanninger has performed on stage at the Jazz Week Burghausen, Cully Jazz, and the Montreux Jazz Festival. His conducting of large formations and curatorial work for jam sessions sharpen his eye for dramaturgy, timing, and sound balance – audible in every phrase.

Audience mood: Close to the moment

Free seating, doors open at 7:00 PM: The audience moves close to the stage action. The music develops a pull – a groove that carries; ballads that hover; collective moments that crackle. A concert experience that leaves a lasting memory.
