Buchvorstellung und Konzert mit Geoge Bailey und Susanne Wiedmann

In the organizer's words:

The American George Bailey accompanied the training and rehearsals of the Stuttgart Ballet as a pianist for over 40 years. His playing saved the dancers through long, hard days. With heart and dedication, he created a unique atmosphere and preferred to play jazz rather than classical music. In 1972, the legendary choreographer John Cranko brought him into his company, Bailey became their favorite, world-famous choreographers such as John Neumeier and Maurice Béjart only wanted to work with him as a pianist.

In her biography, cultural journalist Susanne Wiedmann tells Bailey's extraordinary and dazzling life story. Together they will organize an evening of readings, talks and live music. George Bailey will play from his rich repertoire on the piano.
