Sønderborg's rhythmical ensemble visits Aarhus Jazz Festival. Art Ensemble Syd is unique in Denmark. With its status as the town band for a European Capital of Culture 2017 contestant, there is a strong focus on artistic profile combined with great versatility. Such are the requirements to serve an entire city and its culture with musical guidance in any given direction. On the domestic and international scene, Art Ensemble Syd has established itself as a creative and virtuosic ensemble. A prime example is their collaboration with the composer Django Bates and Sønderborg's other professional ensemble Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester. Groundbreaking in terms of artistic and technical skill, but professionally executed by Art Ensemble Syd. This has also been the case on their two CD releases. 'The ensemble can play both subtle and abstract, focusing on the texture of their instruments with a funky, intimate groove. A band for both feet and brains.' Jacob Bækgaard on Art Ensemble Syd 'Liberty', Jazz Speical, June 2013. In 2017, Art Ensemble Syd focuses on the music by bandleader Niels Præstholm, a pioneer of music for larger experimental jazz bands. Since the mid-90s, he has established himself with groundbreaking music for his unconventional constellations such as Embla, Gyroscope String Trio, and now Art Ensemble Syd. We would like to thank Sønderborg Kommune for their support for the concert.
