After 4 intensive and instructive years of study, guitarist Niklas Werk looks back. On this evening, he performs his final concert with friends who have accompanied him for a long time and have influenced him musically and personally.

Werk/Petratos/Wendler

With this trio, the three Hamburg musicians live out their love of improvisation. The rare instrumentation without bass makes it possible for them to break through fixed song structures with driving solos or to evoke floating timbres at any time. The program includes original compositions by the three musicians, inspired by contemporary jazz, avant-garde and new music.

lucid

lucid is the trio of Hamburg guitarist Niklas Werk. With influences ranging from Ambrose Akinmusire to Aphex Twin, from Jakob Bro to Paul Motian, the guitarist's own compositions create contemporary jazz. Nostalgic soundscapes meet delicate chamber music interplay, rock grooves meet lyrical melodies. Together with Lucas Kolbe (b) and Bastian Menz (dr), the trio combines electronic and acoustic elements, thus realizing their idea of a multi-layered yet tangible world of sound.
