About this concert
Ferenc Snétberger è nato in una famiglia di origini rom e sinti nel nord dell'Ungheria.
Ha iniziato a suonare la chitarra con il padre e si è appassionato alla musica di Django Reinhardt ed Egberto Gismonti. Ha poi studiato al conservatorio di Béla Bartók di Budapest, senza perdere di vista il suo amore per l’improvvisazione e il jazz.
Cosmopolita della musica, come è stato definito dalla rivista Die Welt, Snétberger è oggi una delle voci veramente distintive sulla chitarra contemporanea, un musicista nel cui stile convergono le influenze di jazz, improvvisazione, musica classica, musica gitana, tecniche di chitarra flamenca, ritmi di origine latino-americana.
Ha collaborato a fondo con il bassista norvegese Arild Andersen, il batterista italiano Paolo Vinaccia, il trombettista Markus Stockhausen e con personalità come James Moody, Charlie Byrd, Didier Lockwood e Bobby McFerrin. Come solista ha suonato la Sequenza XI di Luciano Berio nonché concerti di Vivaldi, Rodrigo e John McLaughlin.
Nel 1995 ha composto il concerto per chitarra e orchestra In Memory of My People, ispirato in parte a melodie della tradizione zingara, in occasione del 50. esimo dalla fine della Seconda Guerra mondiale.
Ha inoltre scritto musiche per film e pièce di teatro. Nel 2005 ha vinto il Premio Ferenc Liszt della Città di Budapest e nel 2014 il Premio Kossuth, massima onorificenza culturale d’Ungheria.

Anders Jormin è fra i maggiori contrabbassisti jazz contemporanei. Nato nel 1957 a Jönköping in
Svezia, figlio di un musicista jazz, si è diplomato all’Accademia musicale di Göteborg nel 1979.
Qualche anno dopo Jormin era già saldamente radicato nella scena jazz scandinava, grazie tra l’altro alla collaborazione con i pianisti Bobo Stenson (che continua tuttora) e Jon Balke.
Di rilievo anche il suo successivo lavoro con personalità quali Charles Lloyd e Tomasz Stanko, con cui ha registrato diversi album. Ha pure avuto occasione di suonare con gente come Lee Konitz, Elvin Jones, Don Cherry, Mike Mainieri, Paul Motian, John Surman, Gilberto Gil e numerosi altri.
Ha pubblicato lavori a suo nome dapprima per Dragon poi per ECM, dove si incontrano quegli elementi di musica colta, jazz e tradizione popolare che hanno sempre fatto parte del suo universo musicale. Per la label di Monaco in particolare ricordiamo gli album Xieyi per contrabbasso e ensemble di ottoni, In Winds, In Light con la pianista statunitense Marilyn Crispell e la cantante svedese Lena Willemark, Ad Lucem comprendente anche composizioni vocali con propri testi in latino, da ultimo Trees of Light (2015) ancora con la Willemark e con la suonatrice di koto Karin Nakagawa.
È stato il primo improvvisatore ad esser nominato membro della Reale Accademia Musicale di Svezia.

Ferenc Snetberger Biography
Born in 1957 in northern Hungary, guitarist/composer Ferenc Snétberger was the youngest son of a family of musicians. Early on his father, a guitar player also, became his role model. Snétberger studied classical music and jazz guitar. Today he is best known for his art of improvising and his crossing of stylistic borders. His music is inspired by the Roma tradition of his home country, Brazilian music and flamenco as well as classical guitar playing and jazz. He made numerous albums as a leader, co-leader and sideman and has toured all over Europe as well as Japan, Korea, India and the United States.
In 1995 he composed his Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra, "In Memory of My People", on the occasion the fiftieth year following the end of the holocaust. Inspired by melodies of the gypsy tradition, the concerto is a powerful statement against human suffering. It has been performed by the composer himself with chamber orchestras in Hungary, Italy and Germany and also at the New York UN headquarters (International Holocaust Memorial Day, 2007).
Ferenc Snétberger performed Luciano Berio's Sequenza XI (for solo guitar) as well as concertos with orchestra by Vivaldi, Rodrigo, and John McLaughlin. He also wrote music for film and theater. On stage he performed with David Friedman, Dhafer Youssef, James Moody, Trilok Gurtu, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Bobby McFerrin and others. In 2002 Snétberger was appointed freeman of his birth town and two years later received the Hungarian Order of Merit. In 2005 he was awarded the Liszt Ferenc Prize in Budapest.
In 2004 Snétberger founded his new trio with legendary Norwegian bass player Arild Andersen and Norway-based Italian drummer/percussionist Paolo Vinaccia. With natural ease and on the highest level the three of them bring together choice compositions, technical skills, improvisational drive and musical fantasy. Released in fall 2005, their debut album "Nomad" was greeted with enthusiasm by critics and listeners.
In the same year Snétberger's performance with Bobby McFerrin at the Veszprém summer festival (Hungary) was recorded for the DVD "Snétberger live" (solo / duo with McFerrin / trio "Nomad"). In summer 2007 Snétberger was invited by McFerrin for further duo concerts in Germany and Spain.
Snétberger's cooperation with Markus Stockhausen started in 1999 with "Landscapes", a duo suite recorded for Snétbergers album "For My People". In three movements the musicians immediately create a language of their own showing their talents in an amazing way. "They come along lightly and yet filled with melancholy - and they give the impression that one day they simply HAD to meet in order to make this music happen. You can't help but hope this cooperation will be continued soon," Ralf v.d. Kellen wrote in Intro magazine. Eight years later during which Snétberger and Stockhausen have further been stimulating each other artistically, their duo album "Streams" finally proves their development.

A gitárművész és zeneszerző egy zenész család tagjaként 1957-ben Salgótarjánban született. Már gyermekkorában édesapja volt a példaképe, aki szintén gitározott. Snétberger klasszikus zenét és jazzgitárt tanult. Ma főként improvizációs művészetének és műfajokat átlépő játékának köszönhetően ismert. Repertoárját hazájának roma hagyományai, a brazil zene és a flamenco épp úgy inspirálja, mint a klasszikus gitár és a jazz. Számos szólóalbuma jelent meg, és több albumon működik közre partnerként. Végigkoncertezte Európát, fellépett Japánban, Koreában, Indiában és az USÁ-ban.
