Marina Schlagintweit Large Ensemble: Mutwurf

In the organizer's words:

With her Large Ensemble, Marina Schlagintweit opens up a sound space that arouses curiosity and captivates. The pianist and composer, who was awarded the Jutta Hipp Prize by the Jazz Association of Saxony, deliberately put together the nine-piece formation from strong musical personalities. The result is a collective that brings their narratively conceived scores to life with openness, passion and courage. The unconventional line-up of alto flute, violin, bass clarinet, trumpet, trombone and live electronics meets a pulsating rhythm section. Electronics function as a fully-fledged instrument and dramaturgical instance. Schlagintweit's music thus creates a dynamic architecture with surprising elements that makes full use of the ensemble's sonic possibilities. Each composition has its own DNA, from which a form develops that shapes the musical course.
