A breathtaking parforce ride has the audience on the edge of their seats.

Kölner Stadt Anzeiger 03/24

Virtuoso, chasing violins create an atmosphere like no other.

The band “Uwaga!” created a rousing atmosphere in the castle courtyard on the high bank of the Isar with their crossover performances, which at times had an orchestral feel and at other times featured sharp percussion.

Süddeutsche Zeitung 07/23

With Uwaga!, every combination seemed possible — and, above all, beautiful and captivating.

Weser Kurier 12/16

Uwaga brings ecstatic joy! This music breaks boundaries in every respect and is indescribably fun for both musicians and the audience. Crossover taken to the extreme—it doesn’t get any better than this.

Passauer Neue Presse, 06/2016

When has the venerable domed hall of Villa Hügel ever witnessed such frenetic cheering, complete with whistling and stomping? With the “Grenzenlos” concert, the Folkwang Chamber Orchestra has made a quantum leap. Two sold-out evenings with a large proportion of young audience members showed that principal conductor Johannes Klumpp has a knack for refreshing innovations. Thanks to its exuberant musicality, “Uwaga!” effortlessly carried the ensemble to new horizons. More of the same, please!

WAZ Essen, 02/14

A huge round of applause? No, a storm of applause. It showed that the concept of “acoustic crossover” and the crossing of boundaries had once again proved successful - because music, with all its variations, is indivisible. But only when captivating and at the same time humorous professionals of the caliber of the Uwaga! Quartet take the stage. “Uwaga!” is Polish, by the way, and means “Attention!” Not a bad name for this awe-inspiring, wild, and yet highly musical ensemble.

Bayreuther Sonntagszeitung, 05/15

CD-REVIEW SWAN FAKE

An experiment? One may say so. A successful one? It took me a while to get used to. But in the end I must say that some of it is brilliant, clever and glorious.

Band

A virtuous classic violinist with a predilection for Eastern European gipsy music; a jazz violinist experienced when it comes to punk rock; an accordionist, master of improvisation, with the rhythms of the Balkans running in his blood, and a bassist who likewise feels at home be it in symphony orchestras, jazz combos, or funk bands..

Founded in 2007, Uwaga! pleasurably steps across any borderline seperating genres. By doing so, their acoustic crossover repertoire reflects the individual focus of each of the four musicians. Yet, these focuses conflated, and over the years, a very unique sound emerged somewhere in between classical music, jazz, gipsy music and modern pop.

Uwaga

Uwaga!, meanwhile for more than 17 years, refines the concerted vision of a music without borderlines. Showing undampered diligence, they create music that makes people happy, sets out directly for their hearts, and makes their legs move.

The musicians can easily hold up their enthusiasm to play, because in a world of music that has no limits, things never become boring.

The ensemble ́s multi layered sound is orchestral as well as percussive. The search for more extended ways of expression leads to encounters which max out these antipoles. One the one hand, at first in 2013, Uwaga! plays its own arrangements and compositions together with city of Essen ́s Folkwang Chamber Orchestra.

The extremely copious and successful cooperation is expanded and continued, while simultaneously, the quartet starts to play concerts together with big symphony orchestras throughout Germany. Uwaga! ́s enthusiasm ignites a spark within the orchestras immediately. This creates a most individual orchestral cross over sound, which finally, in 2016, results in a CD produced together with Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra.

Uwaga! played at festivals and in renowned concert halls such as:

  • Elbphilharmonie,
  • Konzerthaus Berlin,
  • Concertgebouw Amsterdam,
  • Alte Oper Frankfurt,
  • Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival,
  • Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
  • Expo Shanghai (CN),
  • Dajeon Cultural & Arts Center (KOR),
  • EBU Festival/Folk Segovia (ES),
  • Akkordeon Festival Wien (AT),
  • Jazz en Baie (FR),
  • Philharmonie Essen,
  • Grand Philharmonic Hall St Petersburg (RUS),
  • Konzerthaus Dortmund,
  • Tonhalle Düsseldorf,

Uwaga! played concerts together with well known orchestras such as the

WDR Funkhausorchester, the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, the Nürnberger Symphoniker, the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen and many others.
