#free∃roica@Jazzhall

In the organizer's words:

#free∃roica is about revolutions - both historical and musical - and the heroes that brought them about. Without sheet music, without a conductor and without chairs, the orchestra strives towards revolutionary ideas and searches for small upheavals. The audience is taken on a journey from 18th century France to the present day. Beethoven's Eroica is reinterpreted through performance, improvisation and recomposition. Broken bars, oversized props and blown-up orchestral set-ups make Beethoven's quest for the new and unexpected tangible. This concert is part of the Stegreif@Jazzhall series, which celebrates the creative development of the orchestra on the occasion of its 10th anniversary, which has been redefining the boundaries of classical music for a decade.Stegreif shows new ways musically, conceptually and organizationally of what a contemporary orchestra can look like today and is known for its unconventional approach to classical music. The international musicians combine symphonic music with improvisation and influences from other genres in radical recompositions and involve the audience in original spatial concepts. The result is a unique sound experience that harmonizes the centuries-old canon with today's listening expectations.

#free∃roica takes place as part of the Stegreif@Jazzhall project, supported by the ZEIT STIFTUNG BUCERIUS, the Claussen Simon Foundation and the Rusch Foundation.
