TMBM

Bringing classical music together with a modern mindset and creating music that offers genuine access and touches the soul. Inspiring the audience to reflect together and to consider what really matters: human connection, exchange and shared emotions. Far removed from any polarisation or social division – that is TMBM’s aim. With two guitars, the duo creates an intensity that is impossible to resist.

Willi Leinen and Stefan Degel are both classically trained to the highest standard and – what makes them special – also possess an instinct and experience for songwriting and all forms of modern music. With TMBM, they strike precisely this balance: blending exceptional instrumental skill with a joy of playing and a sense of ease, whilst simultaneously creating deep yet accessible soundscapes. Music that never loses its connection to the classical tradition, yet remains open to contemporary pop and a new aesthetic.

Having already racked up over 1.5 million streams on Spotify with their first releases, the duo released their debut album “Berlin & Other Places” in 2023. This was followed by in-depth features in guitar magazines.

With their second LP, “Symphonia of Encounters”, TMBM further develop their musical language in terms of compositional style and sonic aesthetics, weaving encounters into a unique narrative. Concerts at venues including the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Potsdam Palace Night, as well as at the “Junges Podium” in the Burghof Lörrach and at the renowned Stimmen Festival, were met with a very positive response from both audiences and the press. TMBM also gained international attention through a prominent feature of their music in the NBC/Netflix series “The Blacklist” in 2023.

The concert features seated arrangements.
