Henri Viera

Henri Viera, guitar ___________________________________________________ - began to play the classical guitar at first - inspired by Brazilian guitar music, he soon found his love for jazz - played for more than 10 years with the German jazz group “Bluefields” - composes stage music for the Heidelberg City Theatre - works as a music teacher and free lancing musician ____________________________________________________________ _____" Henri Viera & Jens Bunge " guitar & harmonica ! __________________________________________After they had met each other several times and immediately felt that they were musical soul mates, henRiviera & Jens Bunge founded this duo in 1996. Since then they have been performing at readings, exhibitions, talk shows, church concerts and festivals. Their repertoire spans: · jazz, arranged in the style of chamber music · latin jazz and · original compositions. The strenghth of this duo is their sensitivity in handling different moods. The music creates atmosphere, deepens or contrasts with vibrations and emotions, is sometimes peppy-frolicsome, sometimes meditative-dreamy. Therefore it serves as an ideal frame and support of spoken words, as at readings of poetry, art exhibitions, receptions or even church services. A special project of Bunge & Viera's is their "Musical-Literary Wine Tasting", with music, poetry and stories about wine, often combined with an authentic wine tasting (- both of them live in the Palatinate, a renown wine growing area in South Western Germany). ____________________________________________________________ ____ „Henri Viera & Jens Bunge“ - Gitarre & Mundharmonika!„Henri Viera und Jens Bunge“ sind den stillen Träumen und der leisen Phantasie ergeben. Sie erinnern sich auch an Bach, präludieren mit eleganten Ornamenten, lassen die Harmonika-Melodie wie einen Cantus firmus darüber schweben, bemächtigen sich im swingenden Salon Duke Ellingtons Ideen, schlendern wie schmunzelnde Harlekine über die Place Tetre in Paris". (Die Rheinpfalz) _________________Bestechend die Virtuosität des musikalischen Globetrotters Jens Bunge, der mit seinem Instrument schon auf allen Kontinenten zu hören war und ebenso die sensitive Spielweise Henri Vieras auf der nur minimal verstärkten akustischen Gitarre.
