David Garrett returns to Basel on May 14, 2027. His “Immortal Classic Tour” is dedicated to the great works of music history. At the Musical Theater Basel, the violinist will present his current classical program. The focus is on new arrangements and the timeless power of classical compositions.
David Garrett has been bridging the gap between classical and crossover music for decades. Now, the German-American violinist is once again placing classical works at the center of his artistry. His “Immortal Classic Tour” kicks off in May 2027 in Innsbruck, Austria. The next stop is Basel, followed by dates in Germany.
Musically, it’s not just about technical virtuosity. Garrett delves into the essence of well-known compositions. His arrangements reveal familiar melodies from new perspectives.
Garrett’s album “Immortal” forms the musical foundation. On it, Garrett reinterprets compositions from various eras. The repertoire ranges from Mozart and Bach to Debussy. John Williams and Giacomo Puccini are also featured.
Garrett’s approach to well-known melodies is particularly interesting: he alters their musical structure without obscuring their origins. Garrett developed the arrangements himself.
The announced trio format differs from Garrett’s large-scale crossover productions. Instead of monumental productions, the focus is on musical interpretation.
With “Immortal Classic,” Garrett showcases a more classically oriented side of his artistry. His Basel performance thus promises interesting insights into his musical evolution. On Friday, May 14, 2027, David Garrett will perform at the Musical Theater Basel.
