The only "Piano Windtet" of its kind, four wind soloists from top German Orchestras and one unmistakable pianist, Thomas Hoppe, devote themselves to this still undiscovered wonderful musical genre. The communicative powers through its music and the intoxicating atmosphere this group creates on stage has repeatedly been praised by critics and has become a hallmark of the Ensemble 4.1.
