Maja Tauba and Jan Galega Brönnimann: "The Art of the Duo"

the Art of the Duo is the new project of the Nuremberg harpist Maja Taube and the Bernese bass clarinettist Jan Galega Brönnimann. They have both won the Cultural Promotion Prize of the District of Middle Franconia and the Canton of Bern.

Here the classically trained harpist Maja Taube meets the bass clarinettist Jan Galega Brönnimann, who is well-known in the jazz, world and electro scene. Their two musical worlds are skilfully mixed and interwoven. The music of the two equal duo partners is characterized by the rhythmically concise, sparkling sounds of the harp and the sometimes smoky, lyrical, then again percussive melody lines of the bass clarinet. The flowing transitions between composition, interpretation and improvisation provide tension and variety. The result is contemporary chamber music.
