Romantic Swordsman – The Polyphonic Odyssey
Following the international success of “Catch the Cat!”, Jan Henning presents his new solo program, Romantic Swordsman – The Polyphonic Odyssey, on his 2025 US tour.
As a virtuoso, he wields his “sword” not of steel, but of twelve strings. His companion on this musical journey is a custom-built double-neck tenor bass – a technical and sonic masterpiece that combines two entirely independent instruments in one.
With this instrument, and aided by his innovative 8-finger tapping and overtone technique, he explores soundscapes spanning jazz, neo-baroque, and funk, crafting polyphonic structures that create the impression of an entire ensemble performing on stage.
Jan Henning blends technical virtuosity with emotional depth, making each concert a unique experience. His spectacular playing technique is always a means to an end, never a goal in itself. The audience becomes part of a journey that transcends stylistic boundaries.
Romantic Swordsman – The Polyphonic Odyssey is a concert experience for all who appreciate virtuosity, polyphony, and the fusion of diverse genres.
