A composer and her sonic workshop: Together with her nine fellow musicians, Swiss composer and pianist Luzia von Wyl experiments until sparks fly. They create virtuoso music that not only stretches the boundaries of jazz, but sometimes even goes beyond them - the line-up alone with piano, marimba, percussion, strings and several woodwinds goes far beyond a traditional jazz formation. Lyrical, originally orchestrated soundscapes alternate with solid grooves, intricate rhythms meet wide-ranging melody lines - and Luzia von Wyl's compositions repeatedly open up scopes for improvisation.

“The Swiss composer has her very own signature style - so convincing, captivating and delightful that comparisons are superfluous,” writes the German magazine Jazzthetik. “Von Wyl's compositions are a thing of impish joy throughout!” praises The Guardian and the Luzerner Zeitung reports: ”Airy sound, brilliant virtuosity, minimalist elements and a very special groove: Luzia von Wyl's sheer inexhaustible inventiveness pulsates through all the pieces. That is great art.”

The Luzia von Wyl Ensemble will be bringing their latest album “Frakmont” with them, which is inspired by the Swiss mountains. It will also be presenting even newer works for the first time in Zurich: music that has only been written in recent weeks and is now being premiered.
