September-October
In cooperation with the foundation "Musicians for a better life", the Goethe Institut and the Wagogo tribe I will compose and conduct a new music theater for a production in Tanzania. Scheduled as of now are performances in Chamwino, Arusha in CAC and at the Tasuba College in Bagamoyo.

The music will partly be fused with original Wagogo pieces, in cooperation with the group Wagogo Music Art . These represent a still intact pre-colonial style. The original text is written by Anne Buter and will be sung in English, Wagogo and Kiswahili. Very exciting stuff!

The premiere of the piano solo cycle "Scenes of Shinto" was postponed twice due to the pandemic. The pianist Misora Ozaki and I are in contact with Schloss Oberau. A concert there will have to wait for somewhat clearer guidelines from the politics concerning the covid situation before we can plan anything. Finders crossed!
