Domvorplatz Open Air: Orchestra meets NDR Bigband

Open air on the cathedral forecourt

A crossover concert with the NDR Bigband rounds off the season with jazzy verve and classical timbres. Nikki Iles, Composer in Residence of the NDR Bigband 2023, has a love for the imperfect. A Love of Imperfect Things explores the limits of perfection. Even as a child, the outstanding jazz pianist Florian Weber was enthusiastic about Maurice Ravel's La mère l'oye, an enchanting work that Weber "overpaints" compositionally for big band and symphony orchestra. Dantesca by Luigi Grasso understands destruction as an integral part of reconstruction and brings light and shadow together.
