Heinz Moser and Martin Schaberl have enjoyed a personal and musical friendship for decades, which manifests itself in this special project. Many great musicians from the region and beyond unite to form a unique ensemble.

Comments on the premiere

“Despite their complexity, the compositions are easy to understand and the connection between the orchestra and the virtuoso jazz band is organic. (…) You can sense the high standards and fine musicality that characterize Martin Schaberl. Definitely a recommendation!” (Kleine Zeitung)

“Martin Schaberl’s music for symphonic orchestra and jazz ensemble unites rhythmic and harmonic demands (…) The arrangements do not simply juxtapose orchestra and band, but weave both into a carpet on which the melodies can spread out comfortably.” (Martin Kratky-Jazzmusiker)

“Congratulations on this fabulous and challenging score!” (Wolfgang Hattinger-Conductor)

Tickets at the central ticket office

Last week at Siccas Guitars in Karlsruhe, Germany, I fulfilled my long-standing wish and bought what will probably be my last classical guitar. It’s a Cedar Top by Jeremie Geffroy from France. The new microphone is a Schoeps Mono Set CMC 1 U + MK 4 and now I just have to find a good pickup and have it installed. Together with Domenica Moffa’s Mithra, this is the perfect instrument set-up for all further concerts, especially the orchestra concert at the end of October in Leoben, Austria.

By the end of January 2024, Martin will have written 31 compositions for Symphonic Orchestra & Jazz Ensemble. From these pieces, those that will be premiered in November 2024 at Congress Live Leoben will be selected in the near future. The concert is expected to take place on November 12 or 14.

Recently Martin has begun work on compositions and arrangements for a chamber music ensemble. An exciting project for classical ensemble with improvisation.

In addition to planning concerts for 2022 and beyond, Martin is resuming work on compositions and arrangements for symphonic orchestra and jazz ensemble. These are expected to find their way onto the stage in 2024.

WORKSHOPS 2021

For instrumentalists, singers and bands with the jazz guitarist Martin Schaberl

After a longer break, they will be back in spring 2021: interactive workshops on topics that are essential for all instrumental musicians, singers and bands.
The contents form a solid basis for musical work. You will reach your goal faster, better and safer because you will learn to understand terms and musical contexts both theoretically and practically.
The participants also learn how to see and solve problems from others. Each workshop is self-contained. Since the topics are closely interwoven, it would be advisable to attend several workshops. Of course there are discounts for this.

BASIC THEORY

Saturday, April 10, 2021, 10-13 & 15-18 h

Basic knowledge of melody, harmony, intervals, step thinking etc. Learning internationally used vocabulary.
The experience of this workshop shows that already with the second or third theory question the participants realize that their knowledge of the theoretical foundations is not as good as previously assumed.

RHYTHM TRAINING

Saturday, April 24, 2021, 10-13 & 15-18 h

A topic with which many musicians have problems. You don’t have to be Brazilian, Cuban or African to be good with rhythm!

EAR TRAINING

Saturday, May 8, 2021, 10-13 & 15-18 h

What is hearing, what is listening, what is analytical hearing? Where does my hearing actually stand, how can I train it; what do I need to be able to “listen down” songs?

SONG WRITING

Saturday, May 29, 2021, 10-13 & 15-18

How do you write a song? Structure, from sketch to lead sheet
