Stephanie Boltz: Female – Music made by women

In the organizer's words:

They were always in demand as muses. For centuries, however, creating art and music themselves was no less absurd for women than doing politics, playing soccer or flying airplanes. "Giving birth" is indisputably their domain: despite all adversity, strong female musicians have followed their calling and created music of individual beauty for centuries. However, they were and are - even in times of quotas and gender acrobatics - not as visible as they are today.

Hildegard von Bingen, Alma Mahler, Nina Simone, Kate Bush, Bessie Smith & Ma Rainey are just a few examples of women who were sometimes celebrated, sometimes forgotten and sometimes recognized too late. Who overcame hurdles and scaled unimagined peaks. In the FEMALE program, heroines from the Middle Ages and classical music, pioneers of the blues, 'women in jazz' and contemporary songwriters - together with Stefanie Boltz - take to the stage.

Stefanie Boltz and her trio want to follow their individual paths.
Collage-like snapshots of the artists' lives and times bring us as close to their lives, reflections and longings as they do to their works.
Stefanie Boltz has become an integral part of the German-speaking concert scene.

For years, she explored the boundaries of the voice-bass duo 'Le Bang Bang' with Sven Faller, and has also been in the spotlight as a leader and songwriter under her own name for 8 years. She also runs a concert agency and curates her own festival formats, and is currently the artistic director of "Alpenrausch" at Gasteig HP8 in Munich.

With "Female", she is publishing a subject close to her heart that has grown over a long period of time, bringing together being a woman and being an artist.

"Something very special. Powerful tenderness that gets under your skin."
