Every improviser has the freedom to distinctively shape his one year residency and put his own mark on the city. Angelika Niescier rocked the club scene of Moers, Hayden Chisholm took a walk with a bag pipe and kilt down Steinstraße, Carolin Pook formed a youth orchestra, Simon Rummel founded singing groups and built instruments, Ingrid Laubrock invited her New York friends to the Lower Rhine, John-Dennis Renken enchanted with children's music and Josephine Bode with light installations… There is no limit to the improvisers fantasy and creativity. This results in an every year curiosity: the debut concert concert of the new artists is the highest frequented of the season!
The improviser in residence program is made possible with the generous support of Kunststiftung NRW, Stadt Moers and moers festival.

A concert series (solo) by Virginia Genta
"They will be short performances of max 30 minutes each, with a different horn every time. I will be indipendent tech-wise, no big arrangement needed to make them happen.
The idea was to do a number of solos (I guess 6 or 7) spreaded during the year in public spaces to make people think about the sound of the town. And about how saxophone could be extended to far off lands."

An open jam where you are free to bring your body, mind, and instrument, and actively join in. If you are a musician or whatever sort of performer, you will have to forget your own artistic qualities and learnings and just dive in the sound texture for a wider purpose. No ego, no ambition, no school.
It will all take place at the Studio of Schlosstheater in Moers on April 22nd.
Free entry.
