FatJazz: Phenomena & JazzHall Ensemble

Zwei Perspektiven des Modern & Free Jazz an einem Abend – das ist FatJazz. Das erste Set gehört diesmal der Band Phenomena. Von Grooves in ungewöhnlichen Metren, bis hin zu freien, sphärischen Improvisationen oder klassisch anmutenden Werken ist bei Lisa Wulffs Kompositionen alles möglich. Im zweiten Teil des Abends präsentiert das JazzHall Ensemble, bestehend aus ausgewählten Masterstudierenden der HfMT, ein stilistisch vielseitiges Set voller Energie, Mut und klanglicher Neugier.

Federico Colli / Piano Recital

»Federico Colli is careful to seduce his listeners before completely captivating them«, writes »The Times« about the Italian pianist, who opens the »Pianomania« series. Alongside piano sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Colli performs Mozart’s much-loved sonata featuring the famous »Rondo alla turca«.



In recognition of his outstanding musical achievements, Colli was recently appointed a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. The pianist is deeply passionate about the music of his homeland. Of Scarlatti, he says: »Scarlatti is a composer very close to my heart, not only because he is Italian, but because, for me, he embodies the ideal of a great master.«

With two acclaimed albums devoted to Scarlatti, Colli is the ideal choice to open »Pianomania« with a concert placing the composer’s sonatas centre stage. His exceptional expressive power and sparkling energy in Mozart are evident on two further albums, as well as in his victory at the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. Of the composer, Colli says: »Mozart is undoubtedly a great friend of mine.«

Ferdinand von Schirach

With his new program »The Silent Friend«, Ferdinand von Schirach returns to the stage: it tells of human triumphs and failures – of friendship, hope, the Greek Stoics, and death. The program will take on a unique form of its own, inspired by the book of the same name. However, it will only be experienced on stage in this way.

Please note that the event will be held in German.

Der Spiegel called Ferdinand von Schirach a »brilliant storyteller«, The New York Times described him as an »exceptional stylist«, The Independent compared him to Kafka and Kleist, The Financial Times to Raymond Carver, and The Daily Telegraph wrote that he is »one of the most distinctive voices in European literature«. His books have been adapted into films multiple times and have become international bestsellers, selling millions of copies. They have been published in over forty countries. His plays »Terror« and »God« are among the most successful and widely discussed contemporary dramas worldwide.

Ferientheaterkurs

A truly special holiday experience!

We also practice speaking loudly and clearly, as well as stage presence. At the end, the children perform the play for their parents and relatives.

The final performance is at 1:15 pm on the last day.

Ages 5.5 to 10 years

Course 26th - Fri 30th Oct / 10am-2pm each day

Course fee: €185.00 / Sibling: €165.00

Fischer-Z

2026 marks a major anniversary for Fischer-Z: the band was founded by John Watts 50 years ago. »I can hardly believe it’s been 50 years. It’s been an incredible journey with ups and downs, but I’m really looking forward to celebrating with everyone – and I’m ready! Here’s to many more years of new music, concerts and art.« To celebrate this milestone in style, Watts and the band will embark on a major worldwide anniversary tour in spring and autumn 2026.

Fischer-Z was formed in 1976 at Brunel University, together with Watts’ friend and keyboardist Steve Skolnik. John’s political songwriting and unbridled energy led United Artists to sign the band in 1978, alongside contemporaries such as The Stranglers and Buzzcocks. Their debut album, Word Salad, was released in 1979 and immediately became a post-punk hit. This was followed in 1980 by »So Long«, the band’s most successful single and one of the first music videos ever to be played on MTV – Fischer-Z’s breakthrough on major stages worldwide. 1981 saw the release of their most successful album to date, »Red Skies Over Paradise«, featuring the singles »Marliese« and »Berlin«.

To date, Watts has released 23 albums, sold two million records and played more than 3,000 concerts throughout Europe, the USA and Canada. Peter Gabriel, Steve Cropper and the horn section of Dexy’s Midnight Runners, among others, have contributed to his recordings. Fischer-Z shared the stage with James Brown in East Berlin in front of 167,000 people, toured with The Police and Dire Straits, and performed with Bob Marley on his last European tour. In recent years, Watts has also made a name for himself as a multimedia artist, poet and playwright, creating a diverse, independent body of work characterised by energy, warmth and humanity.
