From folk music to jazz to rock 'n roll
Markus Dürst comes to your event with only one instrument, but with a huge musical repertoire. This ranges from traditional folk music from Switzerland, France, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, Argentina and many other countries to not quite everyday classical works from the 16th century to blues, jazz, rock 'n roll and modern pieces. The musician will be happy to put together a program according to your wishes or spontaneously adapt the style to the audience and the situation.
As a solo artist or with band
