JazzKLUB / Tomeka Reid Quartet / Three string instruments and drums at post-bop gallop

JazzKLUB / Theo Croker Quartet / The Visionary Trumpet

It is not easy to live up to the legend and bear the legacy of your grandfather – a trumpet player who was a favourite of Armstrong and toured with Goodman. The grandfather was an icon of New Orleans jazz who had little to do with New Orleans itself but went down in history as a significant genre representative. From Doc Cheatham, Croker inherited determination and a propensity for titanic work. He was exposed to jazz as a child, although at the time, he didn't understand what heritage was, and he wanted to play the trumpet because it sounded majestic and loud. His music has a lot of elegance and a willingness to experiment with style. You can hear soul music, R&B, or hip-hop there, and Croker does not shy away from electronic music either. His artistic emploi can be summed up in two words: ambition and vision. A quote could also be used: 'The world is constantly changing. It was fought differently by my grandfather; it is fought differently by me.' Maria Wilczek-Krupa Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes

JUILLIARD STRING QUARTET

According to Jörg Widmann, Beethoven’s Opus 130 represents the “string quartet of string quartets.” His own Eighth and Tenth Quartets were written in response to the Viennese master’s late work, in particular its famous slow movement, titled “Cavatina.” The New York–based Juilliard String Quartet frames Widmann’s “Beethoven Studies” with their historical model, including both its traditional version and the Grosse Fuge, the work’s original finale.

DANISH STRING QUARTET

Audiences of the Danish String Quartet know that the ensemble likes to blur the boundaries between folk music and classical music. In this concert, the four Scandinavians combine traditional melodies by 18th­-century Irish harper Turlough O’Carolan with works from different eras to create a sound world that transcends styles and genres. In addition to Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for String Quartet, which evoke Russian dance rhythms and sacred chants, the program includes Mozart’s delightful F-­major Divertimento and Caroline Shaw’s Haydn­inspired Entr’acte.

BRENTANO STRING QUARTET

Quartets by Beethoven, Britten, and Lei Liang

CASTALIAN STRING QUARTET

13 children's dresses, hand-sewn from the life jackets of refugees, collected at the “Lifejacket Graveyard” in Lesvos, Greece: each dress represents one million of the 13 million children on the run worldwide. The installation “Ungrievable Lifes” by British artist Caroline Burraway inspired composer Charlotte Bray to create her work of the same name, which consists of 13 movements - one for each vest dress, one for each million refugee children. The young Castalian String Quartet premiered the work in 2023 and continues to include it in its program - as a reminder not to forget the fate of these children.
