The Berlin “Lenard Streicher Trio” emerges from the “Lenard Streicher Band” and presents its own and classic jazz, swing, rock'n'roll, boogie, rockabilly, easy-listening titles and evergreens from the 30s to the 60s. No eye stays dry, no glass stays empty and no leg stays still when the 3 gentlemen in fine clothing and in their prime perform all the stops of their skills - they easily switch between music, singing, conference, 
dance, comedy and slapstick. With the necessary dose of irony and a proper wink, the audience is included in the dynamic live performance when Lenard Streicher (vocals, guitar), Moe Jaksch (double bass, vocals) and Tobias Schiller (tenor saxophone, clarinet, vocals) bring the hall to a boil! In addition to their own compositions, there are also reminiscences of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee 
Lewis, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima and Dean Martin! In the last 15 years of their existence, 7 CDs were created and they gained a loyal fan base in Berlin, the surrounding area and all of Germany.

"Alliage" is arguably the most charming alloy (French: alliage) of four saxophones and piano. Unique in its instrumentation, the ensemble creates the illusion of a large orchestra. The melodically and expressively resonant saxophones blend with the orchestral richness of the piano, producing a new listening experience of the highest quality. The core of Alliage’s repertoire consists of renowned masterpieces from all musical eras, arranged with exceptional sensitivity and refinement, tailored perfectly to the ensemble. With its repertoire, the quintet successfully navigates the fine line between sophisticated chamber music and high-level entertainment, winning over major concert halls across Germany and Europe, such as the Elbphilharmonie, Konzerthaus Vienna, Konzerthaus Berlin, Cologne Philharmonie, Baden-Baden Festspielhaus, and venues in Madrid, Rome, and Lucerne, among others. The group’s tours to Australia, the USA, and Asia further bolster its international reputation. Several of their albums, released by Sony Classical, MDG, and Hyperion, have been awarded multiple accolades.
