Open your ears for the multimedia Frank Zappa project "The White Page": Hamburg artists led by award-winning jazz composer Clémence Manachère interpret the work of the pioneering musician and offer a completely new approach to his work. Like Zappa, the musician pushes the boundaries of traditional composition and takes a wide audience on a journey into the unknown. "The White Page" celebrates its premiere in Hamburg in mid-July 2025. With her regular ensemble and guests, Manachère fuses her own work with Zappa compositions to create a completely new sound experience. Artistic works from unusual disciplines support the musical event: live drawings by Hamburg comic artist Wittek and the art form of filmography developed by Bent Szameitat.
