BIOGRAPHY
Georg Breinschmid (*1973) is an outstanding expert on the double bass between all chairs and styles and one of the most surprising contemporary composers and lyricists. Classically studied, with first stations among others with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, he indulges in a completely unorthodox repertoire, with the basic base in jazz, but many branches into other worlds from Viennese song to classical music, from Dada to cabaret. His exuberant creativity is expressed in kaleidoscopic double CDs and a variety of stage programs that range from the finest classical music to absurd wordplay.
