International bekannt als Vibraphonist, Marimbist, Komponist und Jazzp\u00e4dagoge, hat er seine eigene musikalische Botschaft, die aus faszinierend vielf\u00e4ltigen musikalischen Einfl\u00fcssen entstanden ist.<br \/>\nNur wenige Jazzmusiker, die mit so unterschiedlichen Musikerpers\u00f6nlichkeiten wie Leonard Bernstein, Luciano Berio, Bobby McFerrin, Wayne Shorter und Yoko Ono zusammengearbeitet haben, k\u00f6nnen ein so breites Spektrum an Auftritts- und Aufnahmeerfahrung vorweisen.<br \/>\nUnd die Liste ist noch lange nicht zu Ende. Friedman war entweder live oder auf Aufnahmen u. a. mit Joe Henderson, Horace Silver, Johnny Griffin, Hubert Laws, Jane Ira Bloom, Ron Carter und John Scofield zu h\u00f6ren. Friedmans Vibraphon und seine Kompositionen sind beide auf Chet Bakers preisgekr\u00f6nter Enja-Ver\u00f6ffentlichung Peace zu h\u00f6ren, zusammen mit dem Bassisten Buster Williams und dem Schlagzeuger Joe Chambers.<\/p>\n<p>Als engagierter und renommierter P\u00e4dagoge gr\u00fcndete David Friedman den Studiengang Jazz an der Universit\u00e4t der K\u00fcnste Berlin, den er sechzehn Jahre lang leitete.<\/p>\n<p>Er gibt weiterhin Meisterkurse in ganz Europa, Nordamerika und Japan. Sein Buch Vibraphone Technique, Dampening and Pedaling gilt als die Bibel der Mallet-Lehrb\u00fccher. 1977 gr\u00fcndete Friedman zusammen mit Dave Samuels das einzigartige Vibe-Marimba-Quartett Double Image. Ihre erste Aufnahme, Double Image, wurde f\u00fcr einen deutschen \u201eGrammy\u201c nominiert und wurde gerade als Sonderausgabe von Enja Records wiederver\u00f6ffentlicht.Friedmans Enja-Ver\u00f6ffentlichung Shades of Change mit der Pianistin Geri Allen, dem Bassisten Anthony Cox und dem Schlagzeuger Ronnie Burrage wurde von der Zeitschrift Downbeat zu einer der 20 besten CDs des Jahres\u201c gew\u00e4hlt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rob Waring<\/strong> (1956) in New York und lebte von 1974 bis zu seinem Umzug nach Oslo (Norwegen) im Jahr 1981 in Manhattan.

Bachs Suite Nr. 1. Als er sechs Jahre alt war, spielte ihm seine Mutter, eine Pianistin, das Klavierpr\u00e4ludium aus Bachs Suite Nr. 1 vor, und er war v\u00f6llig fasziniert und wollte die Melodie sofort wiederholen. Doch seine Mutter erwiderte: \u201eKostjuscha, wenn du das spielen willst, musst du Cello lernen, denn Bach hat das St\u00fcck f\u00fcr Cello komponiert, nicht f\u00fcr Klavier.\u201c Innerhalb einer Woche hatte er ein kleines 1\/8-Cello und begann, Bach zu \u00fcben. Drei Jahre sp\u00e4ter spielte Konstantin Manaev auf dem \u201eNew Names\u201c-Konzert in Takamatsu, Japan.

Je vertrauter sie mir werden, desto gr\u00f6\u00dfer wird meine Bewunderung. Ich lebe, f\u00fchle und leide mit ihnen.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kirschnereit<\/strong> verfolgt einen streng analytischen Ansatz beim Studium der Musik \u2013 um im Moment der Auff\u00fchrung seiner eigenen Intuition vertrauen zu k\u00f6nnen. Sein Kompass ist die innere Notwendigkeit, die Suche nach der idealen Phrase, genau so und nicht anders zu spielen. Vielleicht ist es diese Dringlichkeit, die \u00fcber die universellen Tugenden des Klavierspiels hinausgeht, die regelm\u00e4\u00dfig Lob von den Kritikern einbringt. \u201eFast Horowitz-\u00e4hnliche Qualit\u00e4ten der Intimit\u00e4t\u201c, so beschrieb ihn das Fono Forum, \u201eLeidenschaft und Subtilit\u00e4t\u201c, so beschrieb ihn der WDR. \u201eMatthias Kirschnereit gelingt es, ein fesselndes Portr\u00e4t der Seele des Komponisten zu zeichnen\u201d, schw\u00e4rmte Piano News.<\/p>\n<p>Kirschnereit, geboren 1962, tritt seit Jahrzehnten auf B\u00fchnen in Deutschland, Europa, Amerika und Ostasien auf und gibt weltweit Konzerte mit f\u00fchrenden Orchestern und Dirigenten. Fast 40 Aufnahmen dokumentieren sein Schaffen.<\/p>\n<p>Schubert und Mendelssohn, Schumann und Brahms sind die Fixsterne in Kirschnereits Klavierhimmel. Er widmet sich auch Werken von Mozart, Chopin und Rachmaninow. Zu seinen bemerkenswert zahlreichen Gesamtaufnahmen geh\u00f6ren aber auch unbekannte Werke bekannter Komponisten, wie beispielsweise Mendelssohns rekonstruiertes Klavierkonzert in e-Moll, f\u00fcr das er 2009 mit dem ECHO Klassik ausgezeichnet wurde. Er hat H\u00e4ndels gesamte Orgelkonzerte in eigenen Arrangements f\u00fcr Klavier aufgenommen. Die CD \u201eBeethoven unknown\u201c, die zum Beethoven-Jubil\u00e4um 2020 entstanden ist, enth\u00e4lt unbekannte Perlen des Komponisten und stieg sofort in die Top Ten der deutschen Klassik-Charts ein. 2021 nahm er Hummels Klavierkonzert Nr. zusammen mit Konzertst\u00fccken von Weber und Mendelssohn auf (Frankfurter Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester, Michael Sanderling).<\/p>\n<p>Er war kein Wunderkind, im Gegenteil: Wie er selbst sagt, \u201esprang er auf den allerletzten Zug f\u00fcr eine Karriere als Pianist auf\u201c. Im Alter von neun bis 14 Jahren, als andere bereits erste Wettbewerbserfahrungen sammelten, lebte er mit seinen Eltern in Namibia, weit entfernt von den Ausbildungsm\u00f6glichkeiten, die man braucht, um Pianist zu werden. 1976 kehrte er ohne seine Eltern nach Deutschland zur\u00fcck und wurde Jungstudent bei Renate Kretschmar-Fischer an der Musikhochschule Detmold. \u201eEs war ein Schock zu sehen und zu h\u00f6ren, was meine Altersgenossen bereits spielen konnten\u201c, erinnert er sich. Kirschnereit setzte alles auf eine Karte und verlie\u00df die Schule ohne Abitur. Wettbewerbserfolge, wie beim Concours G\u00e9za Anda in Z\u00fcrich, gaben ihm Recht.<\/p>\n<p>Seit langem gibt er seine Erfahrungen und \u00dcberzeugungen als Professor an der Hochschule f\u00fcr Musik und Theater Rostock an die n\u00e4chste Generation von Musikern weiter. Kirschnereit engagiert sich leidenschaftlich f\u00fcr die Initiative \u201eRhapsody in School\u201c und das Kulturprojekt TONALi. Und mit dem handverlesenen Programm seiner \u201eGezeitenkonzerte\u201c lockt er seit 2012 ein stetig wachsendes Publikum in die Kirchen, Herrenh\u00e4user und Bibliotheken Ostfrieslands. K\u00fcnstler vom Kaliber eines Grigory Sokolov reisen regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu diesem \u201eFestival unter Freunden\u201c, wie Kirschnereit es nennt. Gleichzeitig sieht er darin ein Gegengewicht zur musikalischen Veranstaltungskultur, die er manchmal mit am\u00fcsierter Distanz als \u201eglamour\u00f6sen Wanderzirkus\u201c bezeichnet.<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr sein Engagement in Rostock und Ostfriesland hat er sich den scherzhaften Titel \u201eK\u00fcstenpianist\u201c verdient. Er lebt mit seiner Familie in der Hafenstadt Hamburg und bleibt auch in Sachen Fu\u00dfball dem maritimen Norden in Gr\u00fcn und Wei\u00df treu.<\/p>\n<p>Viele weitere Details zu Matthias Kirschnereits faszinierender Karriere finden Sie auf der Website des K\u00fcnstlers: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.matthias-kirschnereit.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.matthias-kirschnereit.de\">www.matthias-kirschnereit.de<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8220;2024&#8243; tab_id=&#8220;1748502007742-313dbdce-5e14&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7728 size-gardis-thumb-big\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Frank_Muschalle_20150422_P_248.2-637x380.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"380\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>18.05.2024<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Frank Muschalle<\/strong> (Berlin) ist seit \u00fcber 30 Jahren auf Tournee und z\u00e4hlt heute weltweit zu den gefragtesten Blues &amp; Boogie Woogie Pianisten, er spielte Konzerte in ganz Europa, Paraguay, Boliven, USA und Nordafrika.<\/p>\n<p>2019 erhielt Frank eine Einladung zu Konzerten in die USA (Chicago, Houston und Cincinnati) und nach Kanada (Ottawa).

Er begann, intensiv mit italienischen Musikern wie Rosario Giuliani oder Maurizio Giammarco zusammenzuarbeiten und Jazzbass an der Siena Jazz University zu unterrichten. Die darauf folgende, so unerwartete wie bedeutsame Begegnung mit Olivia Trummer setzte neue Energien frei und wirkt seitdem musikalisch wie pers\u00f6nlich nach. Mittlerweile tritt er regelm\u00e4\u00dfig als Mitglied der Projekte von Alex Sipiagin und Antonio Fara\u00f2 sowie mit dem Olivia Trummer Trio und dem Isfar Sarabski Trio in Erscheinung und wird Anfang 2025 sein Deb\u00fctalbum &#8222;Free Fall&#8220; (Rainy Days Records) ver\u00f6ffenlichen.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>30.06.2024\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>VersaTune Trio: STRINGS ON FIRE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wir sind ein kleines Instrumentalensemble, das aus zwei Gitarren und einer Violine zusammengesetzt ist.

Mimis Plessas is a prolific composer with hundreds of hit songs, film scores, theatre music, jazz music and symphonic pieces throughout his 60-year music career. Klaudia Delmer is a singer who brings again to the foreground the amazing melodies of Greek music and bridges them with today through a modern sound. She is often called by the Greeks the new Nana Mouskouri for her charismatic voice and presence. <span class=\"style_1\">In the first half of the concert, there will be a presentation of Klaudia Delmer\u2019s most recent album entitled \u201c Lamar \u2013 Dromoi tis Thalassas (Ways of the Sea)\u201d with music composed by Mimis Plessas.<\/span> The main theme of the album is the sea and what the sea relates to in our lives (adventure, loneliness, love, loss, danger, intimacy, longing, diverse cultures, distance, communication, homecoming) through the lyrics of great Spanish and Greek poets and lyricists.\u00a0<span class=\"style_1\">The second half of the concert will consist of the older and very well-known melodies and songs of Mimis Plessas and unpublished pieces.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_3\">Klaudia Delmer &#8222;LaMar-dromoi tis thalassas&#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_3\">Lamar\u2026 love and sea in one word&#8230; I grew up away from the sea: in Warsaw, an inland city which, however, has a mermaid for its symbol and in Madrid where I was intrigued by the sea in an imaginary painting of a woman standing at the window and gazing at the sea, in Ernesto Sabato\u2019s book \u201cThe Tunel\u201d.\u00a0 A few years later I encountered this same image in a friend&#8217;s house who in turn introduced me to Alvaro Mutis\u2019 books. This happened in Attica, in Greece; a country that is not a land surrounded by sea, as it usually happens, but a country which is a sea surrounded by land. And here in Greece, I came to know it and to love it. Anybody who learns the sea in this very place is lucky. However, I am more than lucky as I am singing it with these luminous and enlightened melodies of Mimis Plessas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7479 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/roberto_maite-702.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\" \/>25.8.2012 Mani String Quartet with Solo Flute &amp; Solo Clarinet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_13\" lang=\"--multilingual\" xml:lang=\"--multilingual\"><strong>Joanna Gaitani<\/strong> is born in Athens, in 1986.

Mimis Plessas is a prolific composer with hundreds of hit songs, film scores, theatre music, jazz music and symphonic pieces throughout his 60-year music career. Klaudia Delmer is a singer who brings again to the foreground the amazing melodies of Greek music and bridges them with today through a modern sound. She is often called by the Greeks the new Nana Mouskouri for her charismatic voice and presence. <span class=\"style_1\">In the first half of the concert, there will be a presentation of Klaudia Delmer\u2019s most recent album entitled \u201c Lamar \u2013 Dromoi tis Thalassas (Ways of the Sea)\u201d with music composed by Mimis Plessas.<\/span> The main theme of the album is the sea and what the sea relates to in our lives (adventure, loneliness, love, loss, danger, intimacy, longing, diverse cultures, distance, communication, homecoming) through the lyrics of great Spanish and Greek poets and lyricists.\u00a0<span class=\"style_1\">The second half of the concert will consist of the older and very well-known melodies and songs of Mimis Plessas and unpublished pieces.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_3\">Klaudia Delmer &#8222;LaMar-dromoi tis thalassas&#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_3\">Lamar\u2026 love and sea in one word&#8230; I grew up away from the sea: in Warsaw, an inland city which, however, has a mermaid for its symbol and in Madrid where I was intrigued by the sea in an imaginary painting of a woman standing at the window and gazing at the sea, in Ernesto Sabato\u2019s book \u201cThe Tunel\u201d.\u00a0 A few years later I encountered this same image in a friend&#8217;s house who in his turn introduced me to Alvaro Mutis\u2019 books. This happened in Attica, in Greece; a country that is not a land surrounded by sea, as it usually happens, but a country which is a sea surrounded by land. And here in Greece, I came to know it and to love it. Anybody who learns the sea in this very place is lucky. However, I am more than lucky as I am singing it with these luminous and enlightened melodies of Mimis Plessas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7469 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/droppedImage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"294\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>16.7.2011 Christos Papageorgiou (Athens) &#8211; Piano <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Compositions by Franz Liszt, Mozart and C.

The ultimate goal is the presentation of these songs in musical and educational events.\u00a0 <\/span><a class=\"class6\" title=\"http:\/\/www.moraites.gr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moraites.gr\"><span class=\"style_8\">www.moraites.gr<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8220;2010&#8243; tab_id=&#8220;1718963463858-69e5416f-dd17&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph_style\" lang=\"--multilingual\" xml:lang=\"--multilingual\">\n<div class=\"tinyText style_SkipStroke_1 inline-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"Musiker2010-de_files\/Bildschirmfoto%202010-05-18%20um%2013.41.39.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7426 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Bildschirmfoto-2010-05-18-um-13.41.39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"97\" height=\"140\" \/> <strong>26.06.2010\u00a0\u00a0 Maria Garzon (Spain) &#8211; Piano<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph_style_1\">\n<div id=\"id2\" class=\"style_SkipStroke_2 shape-with-text inline-block\">\n<div class=\"text-content graphic_textbox_layout_style_default_External_431_186\">\n<div class=\"graphic_textbox_layout_style_default\">\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)<\/span>: Variations Duport<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Jan Ladislaus Dussek (1760-1812)<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Sonata op. 23 &#8211; Allegro con spiritu-Pastorale<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_3\"><span class=\"style\">Frederick Chopin (1810-1849)<\/span>: Berceuse Scherzo no. 1<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Jan Ladislaus Dussek<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Sonata op. 39 no. 1 Allegro-Andantino<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Edward Elgar (1857-1934)<\/span>: Selection of variations from &#8222;Enigma&#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909)<\/span>: Cataluna, Sevilla<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\"><span class=\"style\">Antonio Soler (1729-1783)<\/span>: Fandango<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">The Spanish concert-pianist Maria Garzon studied in Madrid, Salzburg, Cologne and London, and lives now in Mani in the village Riglia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">She is performing as a soloist all over the world and has recorded for TVE,BBC,WDR,NDR and RAI amongst others, and various CDs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">Maria has discovered the works of the Czech 18th century composer J.L.Dussek and has recorded CDs with are available now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_1\">In 2009 she co-founded the Mani-Sonnenlink Festival as it was always her wish to create a venue for classical music in the Mani.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph_style_5\" lang=\"--multilingual\" xml:lang=\"--multilingual\"><strong><span class=\"style_1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7428 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/D30_9498.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"121\" height=\"183\" \/>03.07.2010\u00a0\u00a0 Kostantis Kourmadias (Athens) &amp; Laura Shannon<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"style_1\"><strong>\u00a0(Scotland\/USA)<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_6\">Love Songs of Heaven and Earth<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">Traditional Songs from Greece, Armenia, Turkey, Kurdistan and the Balkans<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_2\">with saz, voice &amp; percussion:<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph_style_2\">\n<div class=\"tinyText style_SkipStroke_1 inline-block\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"Musiker2010-de_files\/IMG_6954.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_style_8\"><strong>Kostantis Kourmadias<\/strong><span class=\"style_2\"><strong>\u00a0&#8211; Saz, vocals<\/strong><\/span><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7430 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/mani-sonnenlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_6954.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"91\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph_style_9\">\n<p>Kostantis Kourmadias is a master of the violin and the saz.
