Tickets

Swiss accordionist Anatole Muster is redefining the possibilities of his instrument and making it accessible to a wide audience. In his live performances, however, he plays not only the traditional button accordion but also two of his signature instruments: a laptop keyboard and a MIDI-controlled breathalyzer synthesizer. His global network includes big names like Louis Cole and the two bassists Hadrien Feraud and Federico Heliodoro. His first albums, “Wonderful Now” (2024) and “Hopecore” (2025), have made him and his unusual music popular in many places: the number of streams of his tracks is approaching ten million. Muster is an optimist by nature. He embraces complexity with ease and is determined to create music that truly inspires. He effortlessly navigates through laid-back hyperpop, 1980s jazz fusion, hybrid Midwest emo, minimalist plugg, and atmospheric Brazilian jazz.

Double concert with Sam Gendel, Ethan Braun, and Ugné Uma.

Separate tickets are available for this double concert, which are valid only for this event. The "day ticket September 10" is also valid here.

Venue:

artheater

Since opening in 1998, the artheater in Cologne's Ehrenfeld district has brought together a club, a concert venue, and a stage for theater productions under one roof. Three principles guide its programming: range, cultural subculture, and political responsibility.

The venue is deeply rooted in Ehrenfeld and sees the neighborhood's development as part of its own story. In recent years it has gained a growing number of neighbors with whom it cultivates musical diversity, with the shared aim of keeping Ehrenfeld a home for alternative nightlife.

Three formats shape the jazz side of the program. Jazzorama, the weekly Tuesday session, is the city's longest-running jam session series. Twice a year, the Artheater also hosts Jazz Against the Machine. The Latin Session rounds out the calendar once a month on a Wednesday.

Between club nights, concerts, and theater productions, the Artheater remains a place where jazz appears not as a genre kept apart but as part of a broader cultural program – one that links Cologne's improvised music to the nightlife of the surrounding district.
