Mike Holober has led many jazz orchestras, for a time he was the Frankfurt Radio Big Bands guest conductor. When he finally returns to the Main this year, he comes with brand new songs in his luggage! Mike sees himself not only as a composer and arranger but an arbiter. And as such, he is the perfect candidate to get the absolute best out of our students!

At S(w)inging Christmas for Kids, the very young are invited to ring in the run-up to Christmas with music. You can sing, laugh, dance and swing along vigorously! In addition to the charming Caroline Mhlanga and the lively Klaus Krückemeyer, the band also has a lot of well-known Christmas hits in their luggage: from A for "Alle Jahre wieder" to O for "O Tannenbaum".
