An anniversary full of jazz, crossover, and spontaneous magic
On June 4, 2026, the Marcus Schinkel Trio together with Ernie Watts will bring a concert to the stage at the Pantheon Bonn that sparks between jazz, crossover, and virtuosic live atmosphere. The evening begins at 8:00 PM and promises a concert experience with fine timing, great joy of playing, and that audience atmosphere that only true stage moments create.
When piano, saxophone, and imagination meet
Marcus Schinkel is considered a versatile crossover pianist who confidently moves between jazz, classical, and rock. His music thrives on surprising transitions, precise orchestration, and a sound image that elegantly intertwines improvisation and structure. Together with Ernie Watts, this creates an evening that relies not on routine but on tension, dialogue, and musical friction.
Ernie Watts: a saxophone voice with history
Ernie Watts is one of the defining tenor saxophonists of his generation. On his official website, he refers to a career spanning more than five decades, his award of the Frankfurt Music Prize, and two Grammy awards. His discography ranges from jazz productions to projects that make his distinctive tonal language and his love for open form audible. This authority on the instrument makes every live performance with him a special event.
The sound of the evening: intimate, virtuosic, and direct
The Pantheon Bonn offers the right setting for this configuration: an air-conditioned theater with barrier-free access, good accessibility, and an atmosphere where every nuance of sound carries. The event is designed for an attentive audience that appreciates fine dynamics, solo dialogues, and precise synchronization between piano, synthesizer, and saxophone. It is this closeness that makes the evening feel more intense than a large, distant hall show.
Tickets, entrance, and practical info
According to the program page of the Pantheon, admission costs 29.50 euros, with advance sales at 25.00 euros, plus any possible fees. The concert begins at 8:00 PM. Entrance generally starts 90 minutes before the event begins. Those who arrive early have time for a relaxed start to an evening that is expected to pick up speed musically from the very first note.
Conclusion: An evening for discerning listeners
Marcus Schinkel and Ernie Watts combine stylistic freedom with craftsmanship precision, creating a live experience that attracts both jazz fans and friends of intelligent crossover music. Those who want to experience musical depth, genuine stage communication, and a special concert evening in Bonn should mark this date and be there live.
