Maxi Pongratz brings Bavarian border crossings close to the audience
On November 26, 2026, the Bürgerhaus Unterschleißheim will become an immediate concert stage for Maxi Pongratz. As part of the cultural format Artists Up Close, the musician presents his new program rum# and combines accordion, word art, humor, and reflective questions into an extraordinary live experience.
Between home, tavern music, and Dada
Maxi Pongratz moves with a curious eye between city and countryside, tradition and rebellion, tavern music and Dada. On his rum und num tour, he dedicates himself to the big questions of life: How do you become who you want to be? What does home mean? And how much order does a life that remains in constant motion need?
His musical expression thrives on a distinctive mix of Bavarian folk music, poetic observation, and quirky humor. The accordion is not just in the spotlight; it becomes the narrative instrument: rhythmically precise, sonically rough, and always ready for unexpected twists.
An artist with his own sound language
Maxi Pongratz became known as a singer, accordion player, and songwriter of the band Kofelgschroa. With the group, he released three albums produced by Micha Acher. Since 2019, he has also been performing solo. His albums Maxi Pongratz, Meine Ängste, and I mecht an Landler hean were released by the Munich label Trikont.
In his stage performance, a searching profundity, terse announcements, and dadaistic text images meet a distinctive accordion playing. Depending on the configuration, a chamber musical closeness arises in which every nuance remains audible: the impact, the breath between two sentences, and the synchronization of language, rhythm, and movement.
Artists Up Close: Concert atmosphere without distance
The audience takes a seat directly on the stage of the Bürgerhaus and experiences the performance in immediate proximity to the artist. This creates a concentrated live atmosphere where the audience's mood and stage energy meet directly.
Between quiet moments, pointed thoughts, and eruptive accordion passages, a concert experience develops with unusual closeness. The acoustics, facial expressions, and small movements on stage become part of the musical dramaturgy. The program feels personal, surprising, and deeply rooted in Bavarian musical tradition.
An evening for open ears
Maxi Pongratz does not deliver a smoothly polished folklore program, but rather a peculiar musical journey. His texts view the familiar from an unfamiliar perspective, while the music oscillates between Landler, experimental folk music, and modern song art. This is exactly where the tension of the evening arises: familiar sound colors meet unexpected thoughts.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect an intense evening at the Bürgerhaus Unterschleißheim with accordion, wordplay, poetry, and Bavarian uniqueness. Those who want to not only hear Maxi Pongratz but experience him up close should witness this special concert live.
