Company profile

Jimy Hendrix, Stevie Wonder and ABBA: Just from the music selection you can tell that the women's band Manon & Co. is not an ordinary string quartet. "The question is, what else can you play on string instruments except Mozart and Beethoven," says band leader Petra-Manon Hirzel. Humorous moderation leads through the program and occasionally the audience is also involved. The charming musicians always act spontaneously on stage, and with their ad hoc choreographies they sometimes even amaze themselves ... True to their motto "musical entertainment deluxe", the women's band MANON & CO offers musical entertainment at the highest level.
