BIRDLAND VOCAL SESSION

FEAT. JIUNING LIU

The Birdland VocalSession is the open stage event for singers. Accompanied by a professional band, everything from jazz, pop, blues, rap, soul to freestyle improvisation is brought to the stage. Whether professional or amateur, everyone is invited to sing and contribute to a varied program. Organized by Beate Kynast, each opener is an exciting concert followed by the equally exciting session.

Bring a lead sheet, copied three times, to your song, bring lots of friends to cheer you on and perform with first-class instrumentalists who will stick with you through thick and thin.

Opener: Jiuning Liu, singer and composer,
grew up in China and studied classical singing
in Shanghai. Her great passion for jazz led her

led her to Hamburg in 2022. At the HfMT, she has the opportunity to get to know many outstanding musicians in addition to an excellent education. Her music interweaves personal stories, impressive improvisations and a unique voice. She is constantly exploring and experimenting with the fusion of free improvisation, contemporary jazz and traditional Chinese music, weaving a unique sound with vocals, piano, bass and drums that belongs only to this band.
