Chimaera

Musicians

With her compositions, Sylvie Courvoisier laid the foundation for the wonderful, meditative album on the one hand and constantly changing timbre and texture on the other. An important source of inspiration was the art of Odilon Redon, who depicted a colourful, hallucinatory dream world with his Symbolist paintings and wanted to give shape to intangible, invisible phenomena.

For this international premiere, the ensemble also consists of Nate Wooley on trumpet, Drew Gress on double bass, Kenny Wollesen on vibraphone and percussion and Nasheet Waits on drums. This concert is a collaboration with the North Sea Jazz Festival.

'Some pianists approach their instrument as if it were a cathedral… for Sylvie Courvoisier, it's a playground' (Kevin Whitehead, NPR).
