Tom Gaebel live in Essen

Experience Tom Gaebel live on May 11th

Tom Gaebel will perform at Lichtburg in Essen, Germany on May 11, 2027. Gaebel is a German composer, arranger, and pianist known for his distinctive “Salonmusik” style. This genre blends elements of jazz, classical music, and easy listening, often featuring sophisticated harmonies and a nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of 1950s and 60s film scores and lounge music. His compositions frequently incorporate orchestral arrangements alongside piano-led melodies.

Lichtburg is a historically significant cinema and event venue located in Essen’s Rüttenscheid district. Opened in 1928 during the “golden age” of cinema, it's recognized for its Art Deco architecture, designed by architect Edmund Körner. The building originally boasted over 1,400 seats and was renowned for its opulent interior – features that have been largely preserved through extensive renovations. After periods of closure and varying uses including a program cinema and event space, Lichtburg underwent substantial restoration work completed in 2019. It now functions as a modern cinema while also hosting concerts and other cultural events, retaining much of its original architectural grandeur.
