Lotus Flower Trio

In the organizer's words:

20:00 I Concert I 🎤 Concert hall

The lotus flower, which grows in Asia and Australia, shows that beauty can also emerge in a swamp. A strangely fitting allegory for our current troubled, disturbed world. The compositions by French pianist Bruno Angelini are a tribute to the "lotus flowers" of our history, to heroes such as Wayne Shorter, Jane Addams, Berta Cacerès and Nelson Mandela, who have stood up for the common good in their own way. The core of the pieces is formed by verve-rich melodies, which the pianist and the two saxophonists Sakina Abdou and Angelika Niescier interpret with raw lyricism and a great deal of freedom.

A musical homage to the extraordinary women and men who have fought or are fighting as beacons for the social, political, ecological, artistic and scientific concerns of our world, and who have often had to pay with their lives. The premiere took place at the Jazzdor Festival 2024 in Berlin.
