When the tuba becomes a musical fun cannon
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, Andreas Martin Hofmeir transforms the Munich Lustspielhaus into a stage for virtuosic tuba art, sharp-tongued music cabaret, and a hefty portion of musical cheekiness. At the matinee Concertante Appropriation – a musical cheekiness, demanding concert music meets Bavarian humor, literary punchlines, and the charm of an artist who does not take his instrument too seriously.
Great music, small scruples
Every instrument has its great solo works. The tuba has especially Andreas Martin Hofmeir – and he therefore simply takes the best from the competition. Together with pianist Barbara Schmelz, he presents cheekily appropriated masterpieces for tuba and piano. The result sounds like a musical adventure, clever cabaret, and a very charming form of note theft.
Virtuosity with a Bavarian wink
Hofmeir combines stand-up elements, music cabaret, and classical concert culture into an idiosyncratic laugh experience. Between sonorous tuba tones, surprising timbres, and precise timing, punchlines emerge that reach not only the diaphragm but also the discerning ear. His stage presence thrives on interaction, self-irony, and a keen sense of when a musical breath becomes the perfect punchline.
Mock poems for instruments
Even linguistically, the instruments get their share. With mock poems from his Canine Instrument Science, Hofmeir pokes fun at the peculiarities of orchestral operations. The program moves between a dadaistic music lexicon, cultural polemics, and literary cabaret. The audience reaction: first concentrated listening, then liberating laughter – occasionally both at the same time.
An artist between classical and cabaret
Andreas Martin Hofmeir is a tubist, cabaret artist, author, conductor, and professor at the University of Mozarteum Salzburg. As a member of LaBrassBanda, he became known to a wide audience. As a soloist, he won various awards, including the international tuba competition Città di Porcia and in 2005 became the first tubist ever to win the German Music Competition award. In 2013, he received the Echo Klassik as Instrumentalist of the Year.
Conclusion: A morning with depth and laugh lines
Those who love classical music, appreciate cabaret, or simply want to experience how much character a tuba has will find an extraordinary concert experience at the Lustspielhaus. Concertante Appropriation combines musical quality, satirical sharpness, and a comedy atmosphere that resonates long after the last note. Secure tickets and experience live how a musical fireworks display emerges from tuba, piano, and wordplay.
