Zoubek: 2 grand pianos on 3 evenings with 4 pianists

The LOFT is one of very few concert venues for jazz and improvised music that can provide two grand pianos. In 2011, we already put focus on the pianists and grand pianos with the calendar Piano Piano – Weiter geht’s. Now we take the opportunity – as recently on other special occasions, e.g. at the open house days or the anniversary concerts – organizing concerts with both grand pianos. Once again, we have invited stellar pianist Philip Zoubek.

The LOFT is one of very few concert venues for jazz and improvised music that can provide two grand pianos. In 2011, we already put focus on the pianists and grand pianos with the calendar Piano Piano – Weiter geht’s. Now we take the opportunity – as recently on other special occasions, e.g. at the open house days or the anniversary concerts – organizing concerts with both grand pianos. Once again, we have invited stellar pianist Philip Zoubek. After his brilliant solo concert in April, he has now invited three colleagues from different genres to play music with him on two grand pianos on three evenings.
We are looking forward to welcome you in our YouTube channel.

With Sebastian Sternal, the third concert on Saturday, May 23rd presents a musician who has been an integral part of the LOFT program for years and who also supports the 2ndFLOOR e.V. organizing the LOFT-concerts as a board member. The duo will improvisationally examine clarinetist Jimmy Guiffre’s compositions. Brace yourselves!

On May 13th, Zoubek will play the first concert with his former teacher at the Cologne conservatory (Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln) Paulo Alvares. Paolo was very present with us, especially in the 90s, and won the 1st prize at the creative music competition with a recording from LOFT in 1991 (among more than 1.2000 applicans, Frank Gratkowski won the 2nd prize at the time, also with a recording from the LOFT).

In the second concert on Monday, May 18th, Zoubek will host electronics engineer and pianist Christian Lorenzen. He presents a electro-acoustic setup he has developed between the prepared piano and a modular synthesizer. With contact speakers, the electronic sounds are „fed“ into the acoustic grand piano. The result is a gripping, hybrid network of percussive sounds, organic layers and feedback loops.
