NDR Bigband & Tim Hagans

NDR Big Band & Tim Hagans – Jazz Between Timbre and Imagination

When one of Europe’s best big bands meets one of today’s most exciting jazz trumpeters and composers, the result is a concert full of surprising soundscapes.

The multi-award-winning American trumpeter Tim Hagans, together with the NDR Big Band, presents his work “Dances from the Messiaen Moment” —inspired by the extraordinary musical language of the French composer Olivier Messiaen.

At times powerful and rhythmic, at other times ethereal and almost meditative, a musical journey unfolds that blends modern big band music, improvised jazz, and orchestral soundscapes. Virtuoso solos, extraordinary harmonies, and the NDR Big Band’s immense enthusiasm make this evening a truly special concert experience. For die-hard jazz fans as well as anyone curious about new sounds.
