Anders Edenroth (The Real Group):
„It was truly inspiring to meet ONAIR. They have a unique tonal quality and a fantastic sense of rhythm. Echa member span widely from classic to pop effortlessly. But on top of that they seem to have the essential love and understanding for the music they create. That is the key to music.“
Bill Hare (the Quicy Jones of the a cappella world) :
„ONAIR was an unexpected treat for me – I had been told they were a „new“ group, but the moment they started singing I knew these were not new singers! So professional, so smooth, and great energy at the same time – I see a great future for this group!“
„ONAIR defines the future of Pop A Cappella music. To me, they are the „Cirque du Soleil“ of A Cappella Pop music – completely intriguing, and something you never want to end.“ (Kim Nazarian, New York Voices)

BERLINER SOLISTENCHOR
Traditional german christmas songs re-arranged gently and tastefully by actor, pianist and composer Christian Steyer.

„Alte deutsche Weihnachtslieder sind schön“ sagt Christian Steyer, der aus Szenenmusik für Wolfgang Beckers Film »Das Leben ist eine Baustelle« einen ganzen Zyklus für Chor und Klavier entwickelt hat. Mit diesem Zyklus und dem Berliner Solistenchor ist er regelmäßig im Advent auf Tour.
In den Liedern, die Steyer ausgewählt hat, geht es vor allem um »die uralte Botschaft vom Licht, das in der finstersten Zeit des Jahres geboren wird. Es wird doch allzu oft gewohnheitsmäßig an ihrer gewaltigen Lebenskraft vorbei gesungen«, sagt er. »Wir wollen ihren pulsierenden Kern wieder spüren.«
