ENSEMBLE ASCOLTA: ASCOLTA PLAYS ZAPPA

WED 10.6. | 20:00 | ORANGERIE | CONCERT | Frank Zappa who died young in 1993 has remained an icon of American music. He moved through all possible genres and across numerous stylistic boundaries as a member of the avant-garde, enfant terrible, master of rock guitar and a composer of unconstrained and imaginative creativity.

Towards the end of his life, Zappa composed a series of pieces for the Synclavier which appear in retrospect as a
concentration of his creative activity, combining elements of his experiments within the sphere of contemporary music with the vocabu-lary of jazz and rock. Free and complex compositional material is woven into a texture which is virtually unachievable by other rock, jazz
or classical musicians. A large proportion of these pieces remained unpublished, stored in the house of his heirs, until Frank Zappa’s widow requested the Ensemble ascolta to arrange them and bring them to life for a first posthumous concert performance.
