Stilbeschreibung

The violinist composes Jazz & Groove pieces for various ensembles such as string quartet, accordion and violin, or for traditional jazz band, furthermore, she creates film scores for classical string quartet and sound installations.

Through the intensive study of improvisation and interpretation of contemporary music, the violinist has a growing interest in creating soundscapes, which lie between the poles of jazz, contemporary and experimental music.

[...] A musical experience of a special kind, which continued in the synagogue with music by Morton Feldman, Stefan Stroissnig (piano), Irene Kepl and Annelie Gahl (violins), Federico Bresciani (viola) and Margarethe Deppe (cello).

This will all be taken care of with solos by violinist Irene Kepler, Thomas Mandel on the soprano saxophon and Manuela Kloibmüller on the accordion. [...]
