Current programs
CONTEMPORARY & TRUMPET
The amalgamation of classical music and improvisations from jazz, latin and rock are the basic ideas for this extraordinary project. A mixture of well-known classical melodies with new sounds and rhythms on the one hand and improvisations on the other create a completely new and exciting musical experience.
LYRIC & PIANO
Villon
(Doppelreiter, Murnig)
Provocative and at the same time humorous, biographical texts about Villons frivolous life and his wicked ballads correspond with innovative musical concepts. The inspiring instrumental spontaneity and the pointed lecture guarantee an exciting reading with piano accompaniment.
Foam - Hans Magnus Enzenberger
(Prestele, Murnig)
The poem “Schaum” from 1959 by Hans Magnus Enzensberger reflects the zeitgeist of the 1960s, which has lost none of its relevance today. The concentrated force of the language, dynamically exploited to the most remote corners, also sung, repeating phrases, gesticulating and interactively supplemented with spontaneous improvisations on the piano, this performance is presented on a level that is unique.
The personal interaction with two different personalities and the interpretation, in which spontaneity plays a central role, were the starting point for the realization of both projects. This development continues to this day and enables an always lively debate with a positive effect on the audience.
