Carl Wittigs Aurora Oktett

In the organizer's words:

As a rule, music is particularly inspiring when it doesn't just follow a familiar thread, but brings several together. At its best, this creates something new from something old.

Looking at the work of Leipzig bassist and composer Carl Christian Wittig, one feels confirmed in this assumption. The sound of Carl Wittig's Aurora Octet is equally rooted in jazz and classical music. And so it sometimes happens that the string section in Wittig's music takes off on improvisational flights of fancy, while the winds follow compositional paths. Music for the head and heart. Often invoked - to be heard here.
