Max Raabe & Palast Orchester at Bass Concert Hall

Slick and nostalgic, yet unmistakably modern, Max Raabe & Palast Orchester returns to Texas Performing Arts with a new program! The ever-elegant, debonair Raabe and his 12-piece orchestra embody the tranquil days of 1920s and 30s Weimar Berlin in all its high style and musical glory. It’s all there—dance hall songs, couplets, Cuban rumbas, happy foxtrots, stylish tangos, and tongue-in-cheek interpretations of pop favorites, as Raabe in his perfect tux captures the essence of the cabaret singer, the bel canto hero, the falsetto of ragtime, and the timbre of early pre-war jazz. Raabe, a born entertainer, introduces each tune by giving proper credit to the composers and period while keeping the audience rolling in
the aisles with his signature deadpan humor.
