This is tonight!
Sophie Hassfurther – KALEIDOSCOPE
Die Beobachtung der Gesellschaft durch ein Kaleidoscope ermöglicht es, die Dinge neu zu ordnen und zu gestalten. Randerscheinungen werden in die Mitte gerückt und in neuem Licht betrachtet. Nur wenn unterschiedliche Perspektiven miteinbezogen, respektiert und wertgeschätzt werden, können wir uns ein umfassendes Bild der Welt machen, und von den Menschen mit denen wir leben.
So thrilled to premiere my composition Kaleidoscope in two weeks with such a stellar group of creative musicians!
Made possible thanks to a composition grant from the City of Vienna, MA07
These fine gents will be playing with me in Linz tonight, lots of new stuff, and some of our all time favorites.
The ensemble t.o.n. (Telefonzellenorchester Nonntal, Trio ohne Namen, Tricentric organized nerds, Tiramisu ohne Nussfülle…) is known for its non-existent PR work, among other things. But sometimes a promoter does manage to find the right phone number. And so the trio, consisting of Sophie Hassfurther (ts), Mario Vavti (tb) and Hannes Enzlberger (b), are guests at Jazz Point Linz for the first time. You can listen to a journey through the band’s almost 15-year history. Relaxed, casual chamber jazz.

I am very much looking forward to this thrilling collaboration! Fie Schouten, Vincent Courtois and Guus Janssen and yours truly at Porgy & Bess in May. Music inspired by the book of Judith Schalansky ‘Altas of Remote Islands, 50 islands I never set foot on and never will’.

This was from a few days ago, when I went to see the dress rehearsal of Jedermann. My former workplace 😉
Great music by Wolfgang Mitterer, performed by the awesome Ensemble 021.
Of course there was some drama as well. On stage only!

This was from before our last show in Salzburg at Schauspielhaus. What a pleasure to work with all these gifted people on Brecht’s Threepenny Opera.
This is great news. Bandcamp won their union!
Historically, unions have advocated for workers’ rights, paternal leave, higher wages, health and safety, and have protested discrimination and sexual harrassment. We need more unions and more people who will speak up!
Here is the joint statement from Bandcamp and their union Bandcamp United
