The Institute for Cultural Innovation Research at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama (HfMT) is organizing a symposium with jazz pianist and composer Florian Weber as artist in residence. The concept of "comprovisation", coined by Weber, will be illustrated in theory and practice: How can compositional thinking be synthesized with improvisation? How can improvisation in all its various forms be incorporated into a composition? With analyses, live improvisation, impulse lectures and panel discussions - free of charge and open to all interested parties. In the evening, Florian Weber will perform in two concerts, each with different partners: On Saturday, Florian Weber will present the world premiere of a composition for saxophone and piano in a duo with Hamburg flutist, saxophonist and HfMT jazz alumna Anna-Lena Schnabel. They will then play in a trio with Stuttgart percussionist Michael Kiedaisch. Links to the concerts can be found further down on this page.
