Sofia Will’s Volo | Album Listening Session: Moguntia at Loft

Sofia Will presents her new album MOGUNTIA and, together with her large ensemble VOLO, invites you to an album listening session at LOFT, where the album was created! The idea for a listening session came from the fact that often years of work – composing, recording, mixing and pressing – go into an album, but this album performance is never heard in front of an audience.

MOGUNTIA:
A long time ago, the German city of Mainz was called Moguntia, after almost 500 years as a Roman settlement called Mogontiacum, which in turn was derived from the Celtic god Mogon.
MOGUNTIA tells the story of Sofia Will’s time in Mainz, where she completed her bachelor’s degree in jazz saxophone. It captures five years full of emotions, which have been transformed into music in this album.
VOLO is a large ensemble by Sofia Will, alto saxophonist and composer, which brings together the young jazz scenes of Cologne, Mainz, Basel, Stuttgart and Berlin. After winning the LOFT recording project with VOLO, during which the recordings for Moguntia were made, and subsequently receiving the Jazzfest Bonn sponsorship award, Sofia Will joined the renowned Swiss label Unit Records, where her VOLO debut album Moguntia will be released in early May 2025.
