Musicians

Burkhard Frauenlob | Wolfram Derschmidt | Klemens Marktl
The members of my current dream band. Check them out and come to our and their concerts all over the world!

Chamber Jazz + String Quartet
Whatever one wants to call this music – Martin Schaberl, a lyrical jazz musician who grew up in a classical music environment,  uses classical elements in his compositions; now also classical instrumentation. He is fulfilling a dream of many years – to work with a string quartet. He is devoting himself to the king of musical disciplines; the string quartet, and is writing and arrangingf the music himself. It is very important to him that the band-string quartet combo retains the transparency of chamber music and the clarity of the individual instruments.

Guitar Studio Graz
Martin’s private Guitar Studio in his home town. He thinks that “Music is part of being human. It constitutes a part of our life, it expresses emotions and is  a bridge of communication. Everybody needs it, but everybody also needs guidance towards it.” Follow on TWITTER.
