Maxi Pongratz Duo brings great questions and quirky tones to Frensdorf with rum#
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Maxi Pongratz Duo will perform the program rum# in the hall of the museum restaurant at the Bamberger Land Farmers Museum. Starting at 7:00 PM, the musician combines words, accordion, and fine observational humor into a concert experience that blends tavern music, Dada, poetry, and cabaret.
Between village, city, and quirky thoughts
Maxi Pongratz looks at the big questions of life and often finds his answers in the small situations of everyday life: in sleepless nights, overcast Tuesdays, strange encounters, and those moments one wouldn't actually want to be upset about. His program curiously navigates between tradition and rebellion, wit and melancholy, shyness and mischief.
Accordion with a personal touch
Musically, the unmistakable accordion style is at the center. Pongratz shapes a sound from rhythmic shifts, pointed texts, and a quirky stage performance that feels familiar and yet breaks free from every convention. The orchestration remains deliberately approachable: voice, instrument, and presence create a direct live atmosphere with plenty of room for nuance.
From Kofelgschroa sound to award-winning solo art
Maxi Pongratz first became known with the band Kofelgschroa, which released three albums. As a solo artist, he continues this connection of Bavarian sound tradition, dadaist wordplay, and modern cabaret. In December 2025, he won first prize and the audience award at the prestigious Passau Executioner's Axe competition. The program rum# ties into his idiosyncratic musical storytelling.
An evening of wit, warmth, and resonance
The press describes Pongratz as a musical boundary crosser: the Abendzeitung attests to his music a special joy of life, while DIE ZEIT called him the David Bowie on the accordion. In the museum guesthouse, this distinctive stage presence meets the intimate atmosphere of the hall. Free parking behind the museum makes arrival easier; the museum restaurant opens before the concert begins.
Conclusion: Experience rum# live
The Maxi Pongratz Duo promises not a polished concert evening, but an immediate concert experience full of surprising twists, clever observations, and idiosyncratic sound colors. Those who want to experience accordion music with attitude, Bavarian cabaret, and poetic live moments will find a special evening at the Bamberger Land Farmers Museum.
