New and old music in the crossfire of classical and jazz. Four of Århus Sinfonietta's musicians repeat last year's success with a new and riveting program for this year's jazz festival. A mix of new and old music in the crossfire of classical and jazz. In 2016, composer Gorm Askjærs piece SNAP was premiered. This year, his new piece SWINGING will debut. Regarding his work, Gorm Askjær says: 'The piece is a kaleidoscopic examination of the word 'swinging' and its many meanings and possibilities in terms of music and sound. The term can be experienced as: rhythm or pulse - a swing rhythm a swinging rhythm, or a basic pulse. Vibrations – soundwaves in fluctuation. A movement – swinging from side to side, rocking, pendulums, changing direction. A sense or feeling – it's on, it's swinging... amazing!' The piece is the second part of a series composed for Aarhus Sinfonietta, which premieres during New Tracks at Hotel Carmen during Aarhus Jazz Festival. Program Gorm Askjær: SNAP. Tommy Dorsey tune for trombone and piano. Rolf Wallin: Scratch. For balloon. Edino Krieger: Ritmata. For guitar. Three Gershwin Melodies. For trombone and piano. Erika Vega: Y Sueña que su sueño se repite. For guitar. Gorm Askjær: SWINGING. Premiere. Århus Sinfonietta is one of Denmark's leading bands for new music. It was founded in 1990 by a group of musicians from Aarhus Simfoniorkester and Det Jyske Ensemble in collaboration with composer Hans Abrahamsen. Århus Sinfonietta has 17 permanent members and covers all instrument groups of a symphony orchestra. The band's members work in Aarhus Symfoniorkester, Aalborg Symfoniorkester, Odense Symfoniorkester, Ensemble MidtVest, and at the Royal Academy of Music. The repertoire consists of tunes for a big ensemble of chamber music and compositions for solo instruments. The main part of their repertoire consists of Danish music, often premieres and bespoke compositions from Danish composers. Århus Sinfonietta has premiered works by Per Nørgård, Karl Aage Rasmussen, Niels Rosing-Schow, Bent Sørensen, Simon Steen-Andersen, Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen, Bent Lorentzen, Ole Buck, Peter Bruun, Niels Marthinsen, and others.
