Band - Maria Baptist & Sigurdur Flosason Duo

Maria Baptist (p), Sigurdur Flosason (sax)

For a special concert night, pianist Maria Baptist, who has been seen „in a league with the key figures of modern Jazz“ by All About Jazz and Icelandic’s leading saxophone player Sigurdur Flosason are playing for the first night together as a duo. Both share a long time musical history- Maria Baptist has been a regular guest conductor joining the Reykjavik Big Band with her music and has also been playing with Sigurdur’s quartet. Now Maria invited him to join her Berlin projects.
The program will be a mixture of Maria’s and Sigudur’s original music: Maria’s music is creating „deep worlds of sound, which are seldom heard in Europe today“ (Cosmo Scharmer), while Sigurdur’s music is dedicated to the stark and exotic nature of the highlands of his native Iceland. This a one of a kind concert event
