Brett Deubner, one of this generation’s most accomplished violists, has inspired worldwide critical acclaim for his powerful intensity and sumptuous tone.  The New Jersey Star Ledger commented,”Deubner played with dynamic virtuosity hitting the center of every note no matter how many there were” and the Strad magazine noted his playing for his “infectious capriciousness.” 
     Recent performances include concerto appearances with over 50 orchestras on 4 continents. Deubner has garnered critical acclaim from solo appearances with such American orchestras as the Grand Rapids Symphony, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony, Missoula Symphony, Peninsula Symphony and acclaimed solo debuts in South American orchestras from Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. Recent concerto appearances in Europe include well received performances with Orchestre Bel’Arte of Paris, the Thuringer Symphoniker of Saalfeld, Germany and the Kiev Kamerata of Ukraine.

      Brett Deubner’s commitment to extending the repertoire for the viola is made evident by collaborations with some of today’s greatest composers such as Richard Danielpour, Samuel Adler, Lalo Schifrin, Andrew Rudin, David Del Tredici and several of this generation’s leading young composers. To date, over 80 works for viola including 30 viola concerti and numerous solo and chamber works for viola have been dedicated to and premiered by Brett Deubner.

Have you ever been? 

Das ist sicher eine Frage, mit der man sich als Mensch ab und an auseinandersetzt, aber auch ein Text, der 1998 von Bone geschrieben zu unserem ersten Song wurde.

15 Jahre später, um genau zu sein 2013, gründeten wir das Projekt 
"Antz & Bones",  weil uns das Band der Freundschaft und eben auch "Have you ever been" seit fast 20 Jahren zusammenhält. Seit dieser Zeit begleitet uns die musikalische Kreativität.  

Über die Jahre wurde der Drang, wieder gemeinsam Musik zu machen, immer stärker und dabei versuchten wir 300 km Entfernung zu überbrücken, was uns mit unseren ersten Stücken auch gelungen ist.

Wie beschreiben wir nun unsere Musik? Im Grunde ist die Antwort simple: 


Wir machen Musik à la Antz & Bones.


Wir möchten uns, unsere Gedanken und Gefühle auf diese Weise ausdrücken und uns in der musikalischen Gestaltung verwirklichen.

Sicher ist der Himmel nicht immer grau, aber er ist auch nicht immer blau und das spiegelt sich in unseren Songs wider: Von dunkel bis rockig und von der Hoffnungslosigkeit zum Gefühl des Aufbruchs lassen sich düster atmosphärisch elektronische Elemente, wie auch offene Gitarrensoli in unserer Musik finden.

Wir sind stolz auf das bereits Erreichte, zumal "Have you ever been" beim ‚Sonic Seducer Battle of the Bands 2002‘ Platz 30 erreichen konnte und wir lassen uns überraschen wohin uns unser weiterer Weg führen wird.

Was heißt nun eigentlich "Wir"? Wir sind Bone und Andy aus Limbach - Oberfrohna und Berlin.


We are Antz & Bones!
