Marc Ribot & Rootless Cosmopolitans

Date & Time
Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 20:00
»›Rootless Cosmopolitans‹ was the first record over which I had full control,« says Marc Ribot about the album he released in 1990 as the first under his own name. So, it is also the album that is the entry point into his fascinating work for many of his fans and it enjoys a particularly high profile. With the Rootless Cosmopolitans, Ribot brings together all the different styles and influences he tried and tested separately for years for the culmination of... Read full text

Marc Ribot solo & Ceramic Dog

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Marc Ribot (Guitar), Shahzad Ismaily (Bass guitar), Ches Smith (Drums)
To kick off his »Reflektor« Festival at the Elbphilharmonie, you can experience guitarist and legendary pioneer of New York’s downtown music scene, Marc Ribot, in two very different settings: one, very intimately in a solo concert with battered acoustic guitar; the other, inspired by punk, loud and brutal with the power trio Ceramic Dog, accompanied by Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Ches Smith on drums. Marc Ribot’s solo concerts are intense and unpredictable experiences. Ribot covers the spectrum between free improvisation, blues, folk, soul and rhythm & blues and not only plays his instrument, but well and truly arranges it. Ribot presents brand-new material here, which he is also releasing in 2024 as his, in total, seventh solo album. »Subtlety is not my strong point,« says Marc Ribot in the context of his trio Ceramic Dog, which of course is only partly true. It is true that the band plays with great impact and very loudly. Ceramic Dog are in essence a rock band, but they weave a wide array of stylistic influences from pop, psychedelic and disco to noise, funk and jazz in their music. The concert also provides the opportunity to get to know Marc Ribot as a singer whose lyrics exemplify a quirky sense of humour, irony and, frequently also, a political stance: »I’ve got a right to say ›fuck you‹.«

Marc Ribot Quartet »Hurry Red Telephone« / Red Lily Quintet

Sat, Nov 16, 2024, 18:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Marc Ribot (Guitar), Mary Halvorson (Guitar), James Brandon Lewis (Saxophon), Hilliard Greene (Bass), Chad Taylor (Drums), Kirk Knuffke (Trumpet), Tomeka Reid (Cello), Silvia Bolognesi (Bass), Lily Glick Finnegan (Drums)
The Marc Ribot Trio celebrated a premiere in a new line-up at the famous NYC Winter Jazzfest in 2024 – now they come with James Brandon Lewis on saxophone as support to Hamburg for the »Reflektor« Festival dedicated to Ribot. The musicians first played together in 2005 on the album »Spiritual Unity«, a homage to the legendary free jazz saxophonist Albert Ayler. Alongside Marc Ribot and drummer Chad Taylor as consistent members of the trio, at that time Henry Grimes still played on bass. He worked with Cecil Tayler, Don Cherry and Albert Ayler, amongst others, in the 1960s. In the current line-up, Hilliard Greene replaces Henry Grimes, who passed away in 2020, on double bass. With James Brandon Lewis, whose Gospel-influenced sound on tenor saxophone seamlessly blends into the eruptive sound of the band, the trio becomes a quartet. James Brandon Lewis, as bandleader of the Red Lily Quartet, also takes centre stage in the second set of the evening. The programme »For Mahalia, with Love« is a tribute to the Gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, who made famous traditional songs, such as »Swing Low«, »Sparrow« and »Wade in the Water«. Lewis has a personal, emotional connection to the work of Mahalia Jackson: his grandmother had introduced the music to him when he was just a child. So, he also describes his arrangements as a »Three-way conversation between Mahalia, my grandmother and me.«

Listening Session with Marc Ribot

Sun, Nov 17, 2024, 15:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kaistudio 1 (Hamburg)
Marc Ribot (Talk), Tom R. Schulz (Moderator)
What kind of music does the guitarist Marc Ribot, who himself is such a versatile instrumentalist? His own stylistic spectrum – as immortalised on countless albums – ranges from jazz and rock to noise and punk. At the Listening Session, the Elbphilharmonie’s Kaistudio 1 is turned into a living room – a cosy setting in which Marc Ribot, as part of the festival dedicated to him, presents his favourite records that have influenced him and that continue to inspire him. Elbphilharmonie PLUS is a programme that opens up different ways of looking at the music performed at the Elbphilharmonie – either to supplement a concert, or as an experience in its own right. Interdisciplinary encounters and exhibitions form part of the Elbphilharmonie+ programme, as do concert talks and films shown in museums, libraries, cinemas and community centres.

Marc-André Hamelin / Piano Recital

Thu, Jun 19, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Marc-André Hamelin (Piano)
Marc-André Hamelin’s last performance in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie thrilled audiences and the press alike: The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper reported enthusiastically on the exceptional pianist’s spectacular performance, setting a speed record in the breakneck difficult final movement of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata. Indeed, Marc-André Hamelin is recognised worldwide as a »super-pianist« with unlimited technical abilities: No work seems to present him with serious difficulties. This time, too, he presents challenging works by Haydn, Beethoven, Medtner and Rachmaninoff – a varied programme that raises great expectations.

Klassische Philharmonie Bonn / Marc Bouchkov / David Aaron Carpenter / Deniola Kuraja

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 18:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Klassische Philharmonie Bonn, Marc Bouchkov (Violin), David Aaron Carpenter (Viola), Deniola Kuraja (Conductor)
The Klassische Philharmonie Bonn presents highlights of Viennese classical music in this concert. Joseph Haydn is regarded as one of the creators of the classical symphony, whose works were a model for generations of composers. His Symphony No. 92, composed in 1789, is a wonderful example of how Haydn was already known and appreciated throughout Europe at the time: originally a commissioned work for the Parisian concert series of the »Loge Olympique«, the symphony was given its nickname »Oxford« because it was performed in Oxford in 1791 when Haydn was awarded an honorary doctorate there.

Midsummer Night’s Dreams with Marc Minkowski and the Karajan Academy

Tue, Apr 23, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)
Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), and Guests (Orchestra), Karajan-Akademie der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Marc Minkowski (Conductor), Alina Wunderlin (Soprano), Miriam Albano (Mezzo-Soprano), RIAS Kammerchor (Choir)
Almost everyone knows the festive Wedding March from Mendelssohn’s music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Schubert’s lilting entr’acte to Act III of Rosamunde. The complete incidental music to these plays, however, is unjustly neglected. Their sequences of instrumental pieces, dance, vocal and choral movements lead us into the magical worlds of sprites and knights. Marc Minkowski, directing the RIAS Kammerchor and the Karajan Academy, presents a selection of the most beautiful pieces from both works.

Bill Laurance & Michael League

Sat, Mar 2, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Bill Laurance (Piano), Michael League (Bass), Michael League (Oud)
You can hardly talk about Michael League and Bill Laurance without mentioning Snarky Puppy. American bassist and multi-instrumentalist Michael League founded the globally acclaimed, four-time Grammy award-winning collective almost 20 years ago. And British pianist and keyboardist Bill Laurance has been part of this global adventure for almost as long. The fact that League and Laurance are presenting their first joint duo album with »Where you wish you were« seems both surprising and logical.

Christian Sands Quartet

Tue, Mar 5, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Christian Sands Quartet, Christian Sands (Piano), Max Light (Guitar), Jonathon Muir-Cotton (Bass), Ryan Sands (Drums)
At the age of just 34, the American pianist Christian Sands can already look back on a quite picture-perfect career: he took up the piano at aged four, wrote his first compositions at five, and his first album followed at twelve. He went on to study with jazz ambassador Billy Taylor, played with bassist Christian McBride and has since recorded eight albums. Now Sands is bringing his quartet to the Elbphilharmonie. The New Yorker relies in his playing on a powerful swinging tempo combined with sophisticated technical finesse. His reputation as a superb live entertainer precedes him. Besides his own compositions, Sands also takes a look far back into jazz history – with Jonathon Muir-Cotton on bass, Max Light on guitar and his brother Ryan Sands on drums. He incorporates and transforms old and not-so-old heroes of piano playing like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Brad Mehldau with incredible ease. The »Süddeutsche Zeitung« newspaper once coined this »entrümpelte Klassiker« (»decluttered classics«).
