ad hoc music 2011 - Thanks !
The seventh edition of ad hoc music is already history now.
Schlippenbach Trio, 15 December 2011:
Alexander von Schlippenbach, piano
Evan Parker, saxophone
Paul Lovens, percussion
December 15th marked the final day of ad hoc music series 2011, celebrated by the Alexander von Schlippenbach Trio at Jazzclub Unterfahrt and an enthusiastic crowd. More and more, their improvisations tend to focus around the work of another maestro of this musical genre: Especially the second set was soaked with Theloneous Monk´s themes.
Jazzclub Unterfahrt and the friends of improvised music at Offene Ohren e.V. are most grateful to their true, concentrated and enthusiastic audience for coming, participating and enjoying new and thrilling musical experiences in the autumn of ad hoc music 2011.
As it seems, we can expect with eager anticipation a thrilling 8th edition of ad hoc music in the fall of 2012. News, as usual, are to be found here in the summertime.
Until then, we wish you a sound, and a soundful 2012!
Word of greeting for 2011
The musical metropolis Munich advocates diversity: internationally renowned orchestras like the Munich Philharmonic, chamber ensembles and the State Opera, choirs, the Biennial as well as many other protagonists from the fields of classical and new music, jazz, folk, rock and pop offer an exciting range for a large audience.
The concert series ad hoc music at the venue MUG (Munich Underground) helps to maintain a strong base for experimental and improvised music in the city. Every year, the organisers of the Verein Offene Ohren and Jazzclub Unterfahrt put together an international program highlighting a specific aspect of these musical forms.
"Concentration" is the comprehensive theme of ad hoc music in the fall of 2011. This can be seen as pointing to three things: the dedicated work of the musicians, the intent listening of the audience and the location at the Einstein Cultural Center.
The City of Munich is pleased to make available its rooms at the Einstein Cultural Center for musical experiments inviting us to extend our range of listening habits. The proven cooperation of Jazzclub Unterfahrt and Offene Ohren e.V. at MUG allows for idiosyncratic border crossings between jazz, experimental and improvised music. Each of those nights will offer an open musical exchange, and we can look forward to exciting concert experiences.
