Nils Wülker Quartet: ZUVERSICHT
Thursday, 30/04/2026 / 08:00 PM - 10:00 PM / Laeiszhalle (Großer Saal)
Zuversicht (Confidence) is when we experience hope so actively that we trust in the future despite all odds. The newly released album of the same name – the fifteenth by the »sonically brilliant trumpeter and exceptional composer« Nils Wülker, and his first with a German title – radiates this life energy in many wonderful ways. The eleven original compositions, recorded in a quartet, bring a sense of completion while opening up new horizons. They deliberately push the bandleader out of his comfort zone into a beautiful, new sonic world.
Alongside Nils Wülker, an international all-star lineup takes the stage, featuring Linda May Han Oh, Greg Hutchinson, and Omer Klein. It’s a great opportunity to experience Nils Wülker’s spontaneously developed new pieces and the rich, modern sound world of this music up close. »I don’t expect music to bring about direct, measurable change,« says Nils Wülker. »But I always trust that I’m putting something positive out into the world – something that catches on, resonates, manifests– and hopefully that’s meaningful and inspiring.«
