Jazz de Paris

Berliner Philharmonie

The eventful biography of Georg Friedrich Händel from Halle, who died in London on 14 April 1759, resembles the lives of jazz legends, and the richness of his music invites jazz interpretation. The Berlin pianist Rolf Zielke arranges impressions from the music of various Handel compositions for the unusual instrumentation of this evening. A promising undertaking: Handel's music, characterised by baroque joie de vivre, meets the rhythmic sensuality of South America and the sparkling joy of playing of this rousing jazz ensemble. Rolf Zielke's arrangements shed new light - full of respect - on Handel's original music.

Jazz Festival: Händel ́s Journey to Jazz

Deutsche Oper Berlin

He played the guitar in his very own way and founded European jazz in the process - the guitarist and bandleader Django Reinhardt was already an absolute icon during his lifetime. Jazz guitarist Joscho Stephan - an important representative of modern gypsy swing for more than 20 years - is dedicating a very special evening to this exceptional artist.
