Anyone who has experienced Magnolia on stage knows the special magic of this duo. A captivating voice and sophisticated guitar sounds can be heard, beautiful, wonderful melodies, heart-warming songs and gripping grooves, clever lyrics, free-flying improvisations, intuitive interplay and the brilliant craft of two top musicians.
Above all, however, Anne Hartkamp and Philipp van Endert invite their audience to marvel, to the breathtaking now, to pure joy, be it in the exuberance of daring improvisations or in the intimate tenderness of a surprising pause. Directness, melancholy, wildness, depth, fun, unaffected and high art. Complex music with many facets that is at the same time completely honest and natural: anyone who wants to will be enchanted.
