For quite a number of years, the St. Katharinenkirchd in Hamburg hosted a pre-Zappanale event.
Entitled "Zappa Spielt Für Bach", the concerts ranged from classical over rock to jazz, featured former Zappa sidemen as special guests, and included music by FZ next to contemporary and classical pieces of music.
A number of these concerts were also issued on CD. Great stuff.
I just read on Facebook that there will not be a "Zappa Spielt Für Bach" concert this year.
On the very same Facebook, Steffen Schindler added:
But if a young, aspiring artist with a first-class ensemble were to initiate a continuation of this concert series with a more contemporary focus (her original compositions and a touch of Zappa), would you go there? And would "The Black Page" and "Sad Jane, First Movement" be suitable choices for the Zappa part?
To be continued ?
