CONCERT Duo program with Franz Hautzinger and Manon-Liu Winter WEDNESDAY JAN 13, 07:30 PM |
In the first act, they will play their compositions, which mix elements of jazz and contemporary classical composition. NY cellist Alex Waterman as well as musician and composer Gene Coleman will join them as special guests in the second set.
Manon-Liu Winter began her career as a soloist and chamber musician. Shifting her focus to contemporary music and free improvisation led her to a period of intense experimentation with the instrument for expanding the piano sound and technical capabilities - various preparations, string piano, the inside/outside of the corpus, ways of amplifying.
She has been a frequent participant at important festival for contemporary music and collaborated with a diverse range of musicians in the field of improvisation.
Manon-Liu Winter is a professor for piano performance and piano pedagogy, and teaches the specialist class Improvisation & New Developments in Contemporary Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.
Franz Hautzinger studied at the Jazz department of today’s Art University in Graz from 1981 to 1983 until lip palsy forced him to take a six-year break from trumpeting. In 1989, he started to explore the trumpet in his very own and un-academic way.
The conscious decision to avoid electronic sound sources but to still comprehend the development of digital music on the trumpet were decisive stages for the creation of Franz Hautzinger’s solo trumpet CD Gomberg (2000) on which he presented this new until then unheard cosmos of sound that he had developed on his instrument and with which he positioned himself at the front line of the international improvisation avant-garde.
Franz Hautzinger has been teaching at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna since 1989.
