2020 and 2021 was a new experience for all of us. The Corona crisis had a historic impact on the music scene in so many aspects: canceled concerts, tours and productions. Basically, all my international projects up came to a halt. The past 2 years have been difficult for all of us and I'm very happy that 2022 proved to be a more "normal" year in terms of concerts, gigs, workshops and master classes.
I want to thank all music lovers and institutions that provided support through this crisis. Special thanks to Jazzhilfe Hannover, Deutsche Orchesterstiftung, Niedersächsische Sparkassenstiftung, Musikfonds, GEMA, GVL, Deutscher Musikrat and Initiative Musik as well as the governmental program Neustart Kultur.
In 2019, I became the 1st chair of the State Jazz Association of Lower Saxony, Germany: LAG JAZZ Niedersachsen. During the Corona crisis, the LAG JAZZ had many talks and conferences with politicians and other organisations to exchange ideas for the jazz scene in these times of crises. We are grateful for all the support from governmental, public and private institutions for helping the music scene.
A very special event was our 1. JazzSummit Niedersachsen - ALL THAT JAZZ in May 2021. After two years of planning and one year of adjusting the plans to the Corona situation, we were very happy that we were able to have 8 bands performing at Tessmar Studio and holding 11 interviews/talks at RAMPE in Hannover for the streaming version. You can see the videos on Youtube: Part 1 and Part 2.
During the past two years I participated in many different streaming concerts and video productions. I will update the video section soon...
