big.band.festival – vocal.night

Since the newly established Vocal Class 2023 at the 8th big.band.festival is actually the most charming concert evening of this musical week and not only extremely popular with the audience!
In the old and atmospheric walls of the jazz cellar, where true "jazz feeling" arises, the singing class under the guidance of their instructor Ulrike Tropper presents their solo features. The vocal ensemble is supported by the rhythm sections and horn sections of the participants of the big.band.workshop.

Following this is the presentation of the Improvisation Courses of the big.band.workshop.
"In truth, the real highlight of the big.band.festival" – quote Wolfgang Schiefer, overall musical direction of the workshop.
"Here, especially the beginners transcend themselves. Standing on stage for the first time and improvising freely – a challenge that one must first confront!"
The "Improvisation" – the heart of jazz music.
As part of the big.band.workshop since its inception, there has been the opportunity for participants to engage with the topic of "Improvisation." In several courses of different levels, participants learn to improvise freely based solely on given chord symbols.
After the presentation of the improvisation courses, we invite you to the “open.jam.session” – come & listen, come & play!!!
