The concert features Windfeldโs compositions and arrangements, as well as a new commissioned composition for UMO. Windfeld conducts the orchestra from behind the piano.
Windfeldโs compositions are often narrative, as she wants her music to be easily accessible even to listeners who are maybe not that much into jazz. The Guardian describes Windfeldโs music as a rare combination of delicacy and strength, a colourful meeting of sophisticated harmonic passages, driving grooves and poetic ballads that float into her explosive arrangements.
Awarded the prestigious Rising Stars Jazz Award in 2020, Windfeld is a sought-after guest composer and conductor. With her big band compositions and recordings, she has received countless awards and rave reviews in international publications such as Downbeat, Le Monde and Jazzthing. In addition to her own big band, Windfeld has recorded and collaborated with top notch European jazz orchestras, such as hr-Bigband, Bohuslรคn Big Band and Danish Radio Big Band, and has shared the stage with e.g. with Mike Stern and Seamus Blake. www.windfeldmusic.dk

UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestran pรครคsiรคistraditiot jatkuvat kiirastorstain pรคivรคkonsertilla Musiikkitalossa ja pitkรคperjantain iltakonsertilla Mikael Agricolan kirkossa. Orkesteri on konsertoinut Silent Music -teemalla jo yli 20 vuoden ajan, ja konserteista on muodostunut myรถs kuulijoille yksi hiljaisen viikon uusista traditioista.
Tรคnรค pรครคsiรคisenรค UMO marssittaa orkesterin eteen uuden eurooppalaisen jazzsukupolven edustajan, tanskalaisen pianistin, sรคveltรคjรคn ja yhtyeenjohtajan Kathrine Windfeldin (s. 1984). Windfeldia pidetรครคn yhtenรค tรคmรคn hetken jรคnnittรคvimmistรค ja virkistรคvimmistรค uusista skandinaavisista jazzsรคveltรคjistรค, jonka teoksissa kuuluu paitsi lahjakkuus, myรถs intohimo musiikkiin. Konserteissa kuullaan Windfeldin sรคvellyksiรค ja sovituksia sekรค uusi tilaussรคvellys UMOlle. Windfeld itse johtaa orkesteria pianon takaa.
Windfeldin sรคvellykset ovat usein tarinallisia, sillรค hรคn haluaa musiikkinsa olevan helposti lรคhestyttรคvรครค myรถs niille, jotka eivรคt ole aiemmin kuunnelleet jazzia tai innostuneet siitรค. The Guardian kuvailee Windfeldin tuotantoa harvinaiseksi yhdistelmรคksi herkkyyttรค ja voimaa, runollisia balladeja ja rรคjรคhtรคviรค sovituksia.
Rising Stars Jazz Awardilla vuonna 2020 palkittu Windfeld on kysytty sรคveltรคjรค- ja kapellimestarivieras. Hรคn on saanut big band -sรคvellyksillรครคn ja levytyksillรครคn lukemattomia palkintoja ja ylistรคviรค arvioita kansainvรคlisissรค julkaisuissa, kuten Downbeat, Le Monde ja Jazzthing. Omaa nimeรครคn kantavan big bandin lisรคksi Windfeld on levyttรคnyt ja tehnyt yhteistyรถtรค nimekkรคiden eurooppalaisten isojen orkesterien kanssa, kuten hr-Bigband, Bohuslรคn Big Band ja Danish Radio Big Band sekรค jakanut lavan mm. Mike Sternin ja Seamus Blaken kanssa. www.windfeldmusic.dk
