Abschlusskonzerte der HMTM

In the organizer's words:

It is a fine tradition that the Jazz Institute of the Hochschule für Musik und Theater holds its examination concerts with us. This evening, students of jazz piano/jazz trombone/jazz trumpet will show what their training has given them for a life as professionals: Michael Wheeler, Boris Saronja and Pablo Struff face their teachers and the audience.

MICHAEL WHEELER

Trombonist Michael Wheeler was musically socialized in a symphonic wind orchestra. He discovered jazz relatively late in life. Today, Wheeler, who plays sophisticated Dixieland with the Young Isar Stompers, cultivates its stylistic diversity. At his examination concert, he oscillates between the traditional and the modern with various line-ups.

BORIS SARONJA

Trumpeter Boris Saronja was influenced by the character and music of the legendary Dusko Goykovich and had the opportunity to perform on stage with his idol. In his final concert, he pays tribute to him, but also to the great Roy Hargrove, who had an early influence on Boris Saronja.

PABLO STRUFF

Pianist Pablo Struff got to know the other two thirds of his trio during his studies at the Jazz Institute of the University of Music and Theater. From then on, the pianist, bassist Ida Koch and drummer Jakob Marsmann repeatedly came together at jam sessions and quickly realized that they had similar musical ticks. At the heart of their work are strong, memorable melodies that invite open improvisations and trigger strong rhythms and multi-colored harmonic progressions.
