A specially curated chamber music program kicks off the Ammergau Alps Classical Music Days. On the second evening, the “SeppDeppSeptett” presents a musical-comedic combination of dance, song, brass band music, popular hits, jazz, and cabaret, contrasting the chamber music with a performance that blends dance, song, brass band music, popular hits, jazz, and cabaret. All without sheet music, and often spontaneously.
