On March 27, 2026, at the Prinzregententheater in Munich, acclaimed pianist Brad Mehldau and virtuoso bassist Christian McBride will present a deeply communicative duo performance that blends lyrical introspection with propulsive swing, creating an evening where intimate dialogue and virtuosic drive coexist. The concert promises telepathic interplay and long, unfolding improvisations that slip between fragile balladry, inventive reharmonizations of standards, and assertive grooves, turning familiar melodies into fresh discoveries through spontaneous detours and daring musical choices. In the theater’s warm acoustic setting each nuance of Mehldau’s crystalline voicings and McBride’s resonant, singing bass will be vividly present, making quiet moments as riveting as bursts of technical brilliance. Audiences should expect a mix of original compositions and imaginative reinterpretations delivered with emotional depth, wit, and rhythmic sophistication, and, given the rarity of this duo pairing, music lovers are advised to secure tickets early to avoid disappointment.
