Many people can probably count the number of well-known harpists in jazz on their fingers - but with the number of jazzy harp tones and witty strings that will be heard in this concert, it won't be quite so easy. Because as part of the "Jazz Heroes" series, one of the most outstanding and charming jazz harpists of all time is coming to Hamburg: Park Stickney!

Hamburg jazz harpist Milena Hoge invites Park Stickney, her jazz harp hero, to the JazzHall for a joint concert on almost 100 strings. Over the course of his long career, the harpist from New York has advanced the harp in straight-ahead and modern jazz like no other with his innovative and highly virtuoso playing style. Stickney's sound on the pedal harp is unique, and his influence is clearly audible in the playing of a generation of jazz harpists who have been inspired by his nonchalant approach to the technical challenges of the instrument and encouraged to develop their own achievements.

Milena Hoge was the first harpist in Germany to study jazz at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama with Prof. Burghard Braune (jazz piano) and Isabel Moreton (harp). Her unwavering enthusiasm and her expertise in the field of improvisation make her stand out in the harp and jazz scene alike.

Groove, swing, improvisation - together with their band, the two adventurous harpists invite you to discover what this instrument can do. From jazz standards and favorite pieces to selected original compositions, they have a colorful and fascinating program in store. They are supported by Roz Macdonald (bass) and Tobias Frohnhöfer (drums).
