| Musici Ebony Band |
A kaleidoscopic programme, typical of the work of Werner Herbers and his Ebony Band. With music composed between the two world wars, according to Herbers ‘the most creative and versatile period in the entire history of music’. From dance to atonal music, music full of protest, resistance, exile, civil war, mostly by virtually forgotten composers, passionately rescued from oblivion by Herbers.
Two of the evening’s main courses are the exciting Jazz Symphony by ‘bad boy of music’ George Antheil and the hypnotising, gripping Sensemaya by the Mexican Silvestre Revueltas. Erwin Schulhoff’s Suite for Chamber Orchestra is a must-hear. After the trenches of the First World War, this composer/pianist plunged into the world of Dada and jazz, producing an oeuvre full of creativity and imagination.
