Plathner’s Eleven

Plathner's Eleven is a musical present of Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover to all music lovers. Four times in a year eleven talented, charismatic and joyful musicians meet on the stage to share their best emotions, good mood and endless love to music with the audience. The stage is hosted by Gintaras Janusevicius, concert pianist, who is also the artistic director of this concert series. Everytime different people, different theme, different composers, but everytime the same highest level and natural contact with people - that is the idea of this project.
During the year 2008 four concerts are to be performed, one in every season. The name of the series is combined from "Kammermusiksaal am Plathnerstraße", a nice and warm hall, where no actuall border between the audience and musicians is felt, and, of course, the "Oceans Eleven", one of the greatest hits of 60's, with such talent-, success- and charisma- icons, as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis jr., who are inspirations of many artists of our time all over the world. The format of the concert is far from traditional "play-clap-go home" style, it's more like a combination of great performances and a talk show.
Plathner's Eleven is proud to present only the most respected students of Hannover, winners of numerous competitions, performing all over the world. This is great opportunity to experience music stars of tomorrow.
