"Still Crazy After All These Years" – Bachelor's degree concert Jazz piano: Emmanuel Walter

Under this motto, Leipzig pianist and composer Emmanuel Walter symbolically celebrates the completion of his jazz piano studies at the HMT Leipzig. He has compiled a "best of" from the past few years and presents a colorful mix of his own pieces and compositions that are particularly close to his heart. Works by Paul Simon and Edvard Grieg find their place in this program, as do compositions by Chick Corea and Kenny Wheeler.

He is joined by his long-time colleagues Florian Müller on double bass and Paul Immel on drums. The acoustic set-up creates a lively interplay between powerful and delicate moments, combining different styles. The music thrives on an open, playful approach to improvisation and form.

Admission is free, donations are requested at the exit. • Emmanuel Walter (p), Florian Müller (db), Paul Immel (dr)
