Constantin Krahmer Septett Visions Fugitives

In the organizer's words:

20:00 I Concert I 🎤 Concert hall

Pianist Constantin Krahmer, who has moved from Cologne to Rostock, presents his latest project, "Visions Fugitives". And it's a 7-piece ensemble with a top-class line-up, about which he himself says:

"So far I've always written for smaller bands, trio, quartet, quintet, but somehow I've been tempted to compose for a medium-sized ensemble for a while. Something that is not yet a "large ensemble" or a smaller big band, but where all the musicians can still have a large say in the music without it becoming confusing. The septet is a very good choice: four wind instruments, for example, can create great colors and textures together, while at the same time the instrumentation is still manageable or "overhearable", you still have an overview and can react spontaneously. And that's very important to me: I want to give my fellow musicians maximum freedom, my compositions should be like a reservoir of musical text, melodies, polyphonic passages, ideas, etc., from which everyone involved can help themselves and make the decision in the moment. A concert that promises multi-faceted music between composition and improvisation.
