Luise Volkmann is a passionate storyteller or - if you like - a subtle portrait painter, which in the best case are mutually dependent. At the center of each of her pieces is always the story she wants to tell. For her cycle "Eudaimonia" she has called together a collective of twelve co-conspirators. These represent not only different scenes, but also sometimes divergent musical views, which, however, complement each other in the formation Été Large in an almost perfect way.

In December 2019, Luise Volkmann will bring Été Large, a new program to the stage that pays homage to the '68 generation while musically delineating a personal father-daughter relationship. As the daughter of a 68er, Volkmann feels a strong connection to this generation, which permanently changed life in society through its striving for freedom and sense of solidarity, through demonstrations and the breaking of social constraints. All these currents found musical expression in rock'n'roll and blues, which also flow into Été Large's new program. For this program, the ensemble expands to include French guitarist Paul Jarret.
