DIE JAZZPIANISTIN - Ein Jazztheaterstück über Jutta Hipp // Europes First Lady Of Jazz

In the organizer's words:

Jutta Hipp, Europe's First Lady of Jazz, actually never wanted to perform in public again after her all too short but all the more impressive career. She gave up playing the piano over 30 years ago. She still loves music, but now devotes her creative energy to painting. With a great deal of sensitive persuasion and the promise that she doesn't have to play the piano, the young radio presenter Leo manages to persuade Jutta to give one last public interview. She travels from New York to Leipzig one last time to appear on Leo's talk show.

Together with a jazz trio, they review the moving and eventful life of the exceptional artist. Her birthplace Leipzig and the beginning of her secret love for forbidden jazz during the National Socialist era are just as much a topic as her musical talent, her rise, her falls, her strokes of fate and her great triumphs in New York. This unique life journey is staged in an innovative mix of theater and concert. Under the musical direction of trombonist Antonia Hausmann, songs from Jutta Hipp's life will be reinterpreted.

The actors*: Beate Pitronik, Daniela Bolliger, Alexander Irrgang

The musicians: Antonia Hausmann, Philipp Scholz, Bertram Burkert
