The musicians of the Ligeti Ensemble under the auspices of Concerto Budapest will play the challenging Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet, which will be answered by Miklós Lukács' Cimbiozis Trio, blurring the (often thin) line between contemporary music and jazz. In the second half of the concert, the Modern Art Orchestra continues its exploration and re-creation of 19th- and 20th-century Hungarian music: after their Liszt, Bartók and Kodály projects, the orchestra's soloists – themselves composers – prepare compositions reflecting on Ligeti's works. Their sources are mainly early works, which Ligeti later distanced himself from because of their Bartókian models or the way folk music was ordered to be used at that time. The members of the Modern Art Orchestra thus not only present Ligeti's world in the guise of jazz chamber music, but also attempt to reconcile the temporal and stylistic planes: their fictional interpretation presents that the composer's pre- and post-emigration compositions dp not mutually exclude each other, but might even be fused. The orchestra also invited guests to the line-up: the versatile László Fassang enriches the sound with the colour of the Hammond organ, while in the playing of Moment's Notice Trio, it is the inspirational power of the moment that captures the listener.
The core line-up of Amsterdam-based Spinifex is a sextet. The band is named after a resilient Australian species of grass, and may at first sound like a blend of free jazz, punk rock and other typically Western contemporary music.
From dreamer to magician: Wolfgang Haffner, “best” (Die Welt), “coolest” (ARD ttt), even “most important drummer of his generation” (SZ), is going on tour with his Wolfgang Haffner Trio, following the success of his “Dream Band” and his “Magic Band”. The accompanying album is entitled “Life Rhythm”, which was released in fall 2024.
