From Goethe Institut:

On invitation of the Goethe-Institut Hanoi and the Embassy of Italy in Hanoi, the jazz trio presents a repertoire of only original tracks under the framework of the European Music Festival 2016. Through the use of sounds and live electronics they create new music experiences. One moment joyfully sailing through a sea of odd rhythms, then soaring towards the sun on the wings of a melody.

The eclecticism and virtuosity of the three musicians permits them to wander, taking in various influences and improvising in an impromptu fashion with a high degree of communicative interplay. Angelica Niescier is one of those exceptional women who has been redefining the contours of the European jazz scene – a jazz artist on a mission, with boundless energy, a rich pallet of colours and virtuoso technique. She has now found, in internationally renowned Italian musicians Simone Zanchini and Stefano Senni, two congenial teammates to complement her creativity, energy and will to play.

In 2012, a commission for a jazz festival in Tirol brought the three musicians together. The idea was born to work on another project together. Three years later, the trio released their first album (“NOW”, 2015). Watch their introductory video here:

Angelika Niescier received a number of scholarships and awards, e.g. the German ECHO music prize in 2010. She already gave many guest performances on important stages and festivals in Europe and did a tour through Central Asia. She works regularly with musicians from different countries and sees the fusion of various musical socializations as an important step for the development of jazz music.

Admission to the concerts is free of charge. Tickets can be reserved and obtained from 15 November in both cities at the ticket distribution locations.
