The US composer and performer Earl Howard is coming to Europe in March 2025 for one of his extremely rare visits. I have taken this as an opportunity for a special project with Gerry Hemingway and two musicians from my Sonic Fiction Orchestra, violist Laura Strobl and harpist Sara Kowal.
I got to know Earl Howard in 1991 during my first guest appearance in New York through Gerry Hemingway, who had worked a lot with Earl since the early 1980s – as a duo as well as in larger constellations with George Lewis, Anne LeBaron and especially with Anthony Davis.

Over the years we have played together from time to time, in a trio with Hemingway in New York and Boston, but also in a quartet (with Ernst Reijseger) at the Moers Festival and at the Donaueschinger Musiktage.
