Julian Grüneberg Solo / Elvin Rodriguez (MA Focus Projects)

The content on this page was translated automatically.

As part of his master's degree with a focus on improvisation, double bassist Julian Grüneberg has developed a solo program that combines different musical interests and focuses on the double bass as an independent medium of expression. The program presents a sonic exploration of the instrument's diverse possibilities - beyond its traditional role in the ensemble. The concert leads through changing worlds of sound in which improvisation, structure and timbre intertwine. The double bass can thus be experienced as a multi-faceted soloist and is given an evening dedicated entirely to its spectrum.

In Elvin Rodriguez Alvarez's Focus Area project "Ritmos y Mitos", Caribbean tradition and the modern art of improvisation are condensed into an independent jazz aesthetic. The ensemble turns the heartbeat of Dominican folklore into the driving force behind contemporary sound designs and transfers cultural cornerstones such as yuca, congos, salve and gaga into a contemporary musical language. The concert sees itself as an experiment in identity: the Dominican soul is repositioned in a boundless musical space, while historical heritage and the artistic present meet in an exciting balance.
