Mythical Sound Worlds in the Piano Salon of Schloss Hartmannsberg
On October 8, 2026, two dazzling personalities of the European music scene will meet in the Piano Salon of Schloss Hartmannsberg: the versatile jazz pianist Chris Gall and the saxophonist, composer, and Quadro Nuevo musician Mulo Francel. Their joint concert Mythos combines virtuosic improvisations, subtle grooves, impressionistic soundscapes, and influences from jazz, classical, and world music.
Piano and Saxophone in Intense Dialogue
Chris Gall shapes richly colored harmonies and dynamic sound fields at the piano. After his jazz studies at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, he developed his own musical language that bridges jazz, pop, world music, and modern chamber music. His work has taken him to international stages and collaborations with artists such as Chico César, Don Menza, Bobby Shew, and Quadro Nuevo.
Mulo Francel responds with an expressive saxophone sound that combines warmth, breath, and rhythmic precision. As a long-standing member of Quadro Nuevo, he represents a cosmopolitan stage performance where jazz tradition, Mediterranean sound colors, and a spirit of musical exploration intertwine.
Mythos as a Musical Journey
The duo program is based on the album Mythos, which was released in 2019 by the label GLM. The music thrives on the chamber music concentration of the ensemble: Every note, every breath, and every pause carries weight. Between impressionistic passages, pulsating grooves, and freely breathing improvisations, a live atmosphere full of quiet tension and surprising twists emerges.
The pieces tell stories not with words, but with sound colors. Gall’s orchestration at the piano opens spaces, while Francels’ saxophone traces lines that evoke travel, encounters, and distant landscapes. Synchronization and spontaneous conducting occur immediately on stage – as a precise dialogue between two musicians with a keen sense of dynamics.
Two Outstanding Musicians of the European Scene
Chris Gall is one of the prominent German jazz pianists of the present day. His trio album Cosmic Playground was ranked among the ten highly recommended new jazz albums by the American JAZZIZ Magazine. Additionally, he has composed music for orchestras and films, and together with Quadro Nuevo, he received a Platinum Jazz Award from the German Phono Industry for the album Tango!.
Mulo Francel received the Culture Award from the City of Rosenheim. With Quadro Nuevo, he has been honored multiple times, including with two ECHO Jazz Awards. His musical work ranges from jazz and world music to film compositions and orchestral projects. In the duo with Chris Gall, this experience condenses into a unique, atmospheric concert experience.
