Maximilian Hering - The Gathering (2026)

With great joy, my journey with the Maximilian Hering Group continues with The Gathering. Our second album is more versatile and contrasting: at times firmly rooted in harmonic structures, at others completely free. Lucia Fumero guests on two tracks, breaking through the band’s characteristic instrumentation like a sudden shift in a carefully measured poem. Bass clarinet and flugelhorn add further colors, as do pieces written by different members of the group.To me, The Gathering is a convergence of joy in playing, curiosity, and depth. For the band, it’s another chapter full of discoveries and shared energy. With love, Max
