Aspects: Jazz in the Chamber Music Hall
- Emma Rawicz, saxophone
- Gwilym Simcock, piano
The musical collaboration between the acclaimed British pianist and composer Gwilym Simcock and the up-and-coming saxophonist and composer Emma Rawicz is characterised by a particular depth and freedom. Emma and Gwilym have composed pieces for one another and worked together on arrangements, drawing on the many musical influences they share. The great success of this musical project soon led them into the studio. Their debut album is due to be released by ACT in November 2026.
Their collaboration is a fascinating cross-generational encounter, yet at the same time perhaps simply a natural progression: both received a similarly thorough education in classical music and jazz at the renowned Chetham's School of Music in Manchester and the Royal Academy of Music in London. Both are eager to see where their shared musical adventure will take them as a firmly established ensemble. Their passion for rousing, energetic and joyful music is ever-present in their programmes.
Deutschlandfunk will record the concert and broadcast it at a later date.
Concert patrons: Marly and Ulrich Schlottmann
