Sommerkonzert

After the CD and the concert tours with the virtuoso program "Handel in Harlem", the TRIO "Schnyder-Schulz-Taubitz" is now also dedicated to the music of Vivaldi.

This new programme, VIVALDI REVISITED, focuses primarily on arias from Vivaldi's operas and transforms them. The music is based on a short story that explains the character of the pieces. Daniel Schnyder will briefly explain the works in each case. The music moves meandering between drama, drama, opera and concert music. It is by no means the idea to interpret Vivaldi historically. Rather, Schnyder is concerned with reinventing Vivaldi's music in our time. This "revisiting" is one of Schnyder's specialties, who unexpectedly and surprisingly reinterprets and transforms non-European and historical music.

The two main instruments, soprano saxophone and bass trombone, had not yet been invented at the time of Vivaldi. The great variety of sounds of these instruments allows for a stronger theatrical expression than the quieter and more tonally limited instruments of the time.

Stefan Schulz, bass trombonist of the Berlin Philharmonic, is one of the outstanding virtuosos of his instrument. Numerous CDs and concerts as a soloist distinguish this musician in a class of his own.

Daniel Schnyder is known worldwide as a composer, "music thinker", improviser and instrumental virtuoso. His compositions are frequently performed around the globe in concert halls as well as at international instrumental competitions. He is also internationally recognized as a cross-genre virtuoso who combines composed and improvised music.

The exceptional Polish violinist Adam Taubitz was the youngest concertmaster in the history of Swiss orchestras (Basel Radio Symphony Orchestra). Later he was also section leader of the Berlin Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado. Adam is also an outstanding jazz violinist – a rare double talent that he will also show in this programme.
