Biography
To mark this year’s anniversary of “200 Years of Johann Strauss Son”, moritz&co embarks on a new musical journey. Nine varied pieces by the Waltz King were arranged by Sebastian Moritz, recorded in the studio and then pressed onto CD and vinyl.
These include world-famous hits such as the Tritsch Tratsch – Polka, the Annen Polka and The Blue Danube.
The initial uncertainty as to whether Johann Strauss’s music would work with a brass instrumentation quickly turned into euphoria after the first arrangement. “Strauss in Brass” works. And how! Highly motivated, the now 17-year-old bandleader Sebastian Moritz searches through the many compositions of Johann Strauss Son and selects suitable and well-known works that fit the instrumentation of moritz&co. An intensive period of arrangements follows. At the same time, dates for rehearsals and recordings are checked. The Strauss concert will also feature compositions by Christian Kolonovits (Crazy Dance of Plants) and original compositions, among others.
