Salut Salon

Founded in Hamburg, Germany in 2000 by Angelika Bachmann and Iris Siegfried, Salut Salon has taken the art of crossover to chamber music in a virtuoso manner and added to the brilliantly developed mix of classic, pop, chanson, and folk, an absolutely unique stage performance: musical perfection with magical charm. Like so many successful music quartets, Salut Salon started as a duet, two constant companions; a perfect team of two women who have known each other since childhood, and who have grown together artistically. Together, Angelika and Iris broke their strings in the school orchestra, founded a flat-share while they were at university, and travelled the world, a tour they financed by busking wherever they went. After their return to their native Eppendorf, a neighborhood in central Hamburg, Iris and Angelika established their legendary “jour fixe,” in keeping with the tradition of art-lovers at the turn of the last century, who paid homage to the literary and musical muses by meeting for recitals and performances in each other’s houses. The duo would not last long, however.
