OUTUBRO
Kamal Sabri (Índia, 1976) é filho de uma das maiores lendas da música clássica indiana: Ustad Sabri Khan (na foto, à esquerda), que tocou com Ravi Shankar, Yehudi Menuhin, tendo ainda colaborado com The Beatles. Kamal Sabri seguiu a tradição da família, tornando-se talvez na principal referência actual do sarangi, instrumento comummente citado como o de maior dificuldade na tradição indiana. É um dos quatro músicos a figurar nas compilações The Best of Sarangi (Vol1 e Vol2), da Living Media India, juntamente com Sultan Khan (1905), Sabri Khan (1927), e Ram Narayan (1927).
Apresentou-se em concertos com alguns dos mais importantes nomes da música clássica indiana, como Ustad Fateh Ali Khan, Hariprasad Chaurasia e Zakir Hussain; e com músicos de jazz e música improvisada, como Jan Garbarek, Dan Weiss e Raoul Bjorkenheim.
Em 2001 colaborou com o grupo Massive Attack, na gravação de uma música encomendada para o filme Matrix Reloaded.
Vencedor de múltiplos prémios nacionais, conferidos pelo Indo-Sri Lankan Cultural Council, entre os quais o The Young Maestro Award (1999) e o The Best Instrumentalist (2000), e prémios internacionais, como o Nashville Music Award (Melhor Músico Internacional 2016).
Compôs para cinema, em filmes de Hollywood (como o The Big Question, com Mel Gibson e Monica Bellucci) e da Bollywood (como Khamosh Pani).
Actuou em grandes salas e em festivais de todo o mundo, e em cerimónias como a da entrega dos Nobel, na presença do Rei da Noruega, e noutras celebrações na presença do Presidente da China e do Presidente da Índia.
Apresenta-se pela primeira vez em Portugal a solo, num concerto exclusivo.

Kamal Sabri, probably the best sarangi (Indian violin) player in the world, plays some heartbreaking tunes." Variety, USA
"On his way to the Top" National Herald, India
"Clad in jeans and a cool tee, talking about his love for cricket and travelling, this sarangi player, son of Ustad Sabri Khan, the seventh in the generation of a well-known clan of musicians, is quite unlike an exponent of classical Indian music." Times of India
"Youthful maestro" Trinidad Guardian, Trinidad
Stunning magical performance"- Helsingin Sanomat, Finland
"Fingers, dancing complex patterns on Sarangi strings" Birmingham Post, UK
"While father Sabri Khan perfected the khat khatka style to suit his vocalists, and the gayaki ang for solo renditions, his son Kamal has radicalised the instrument itself by tuning a guitar string in place of the traditional gut string. "The Hindu
"Kamal was impressive. His playing managed to give goosebumps like the Thoughts and Beats CD of Sultan Khan and Zakir Hussain. Kamal is an interesting subject for scrutiny. He's young, 25 years old to be exact, he comes from the Sainia Gharana of music and is seventh in line of a family tree that shows sarangi players from top to bottom. He has a rather modern outlook because of his age, but at the same time tradition is very close to his heart. He learnt under the tutelage of his father, Ustad Sabri Khan, who is a progressive sarangi player and has won the Padmashree award in India. Homegrown, but open to ideas, Ustad Sabri Khan has played with Pandit Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin from the classical lot and with The Beatles" The News, Índia

Nate Wooley começou a tocar profissionalmente aos 13 anos, na big band do seu pai, um saxofonista residente em Oregon.
Em 2001 mudou-se para Nova Iorque onde contactou com vários músicos com os quais viria a colaborar, como Anthony Braxton, John Zorn, Joe Morris, Peter Evans, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, Chris Corsano e Mary Halvorson.
Nas suas actuações a solo, uma dimensão considerável do seu trabalho, faz uso extremo de técnicas extensivas, e de elementos como noise, drone e vocalizações, tornando-se um dos grandes virtuosos do instrumento.
Em 2013 foi eleito Músico do Ano pela El Intruso, que reúne dezenas de periodistas de jazz de vários países, naquela que é uma das mais prestigiadas votações nesta área. O título de Músico do Ano foi igualmente atribuido pela New York City Jazz Record em 2011 e 2013.
É o curador do Database of Recorded American Music (www.dramonline.org).
Apresenta-se no Solilóquios, num concerto exclusivo em Portugal.
"One of the most inventive, versatile, and technically masterful trumpeters-musicians-in the free jazz world" Free Jazz Collective
“Inside the experimental realm, Nate Wooley possesses an obvious star quality” New York Times
“Um dos mais desafiadores trompetistas da actualidade" Público
Nate Wooley is one of the most interesting and unusual trumpet players living today, and that is without hyperbole” Dave Douglas
“An iconoclastic trumpeter” Time Out New York
"Nate Wooley is a key member of a jazz scene that not easy to define but that sits on the left fringe of the music, using elements of contemporary classical music (or “new music”), atonal avant grade jazz, noise, and free improvisation. PopMatters
A word or two is in order about Wooley’s approach to his instrument. While the spatial innovations of Bill Dixon and Wadada Leo Smith are certainly referenced, the humor of Lester Bowie is also in evidence, and I even hear the chronologically disparate but equally luscious tones of Tony Friscella and Arve Henrikson on occasion. An extraordinary listen.” - Dusted Magazine

The broad spectrum of cellist Anja Lechner’s work embraces performances as soloist with orchestras, classical and contemporary chamber music as well as projects referencing diverse improvisational traditions.
She has premiered works by composers including Tigran Mansurian, Valentin Silvestrov, Annette Focks, Alexandra Filonenko and, recently, Zad Moultaka’s “Mystery of Mysteries” with Pablo Márquez. In the 2012 season, Anja Lechner performs Mansurian’s double concerto for violin and violoncello in Amsterdam together with Patricia Kopatchinskaja, and gives the first performance of a new piece by Mansurian for cello and chamber orchestra, concerts by ECM, the label for which she has recorded since 1996.
Other highlights this season include, with Reto Bieri and the Camerata Zürich, the performance of Mansurian’s Postludium for Clarinet, Cello and Strings in a programme incorporating solo performance of Silvestrov’s Elegie for Solo Cello and Two Tam-Tams. Lechner’s affinity for Silvestrov’s music has previously led to participation in recordings including the Grammy-nominated “leggiero, pesante.”
Márquez , Bieri and Kopatschinskaja are amongst her frequent chamber partners: others have included pianists Alexei Lubimov, Silke Avenhaus and Kirill Gerstein, cellist Agnès Vesterman, and violist Tatjana Masurenko.
Anja Lechner’s long-running artistic collaboration with Argentine bandoneonist-composer Dino Saluzzi is the subject of “El Encuentro”, a new film by Norbert Wiedmer and Enrique Ros. She can be heard on recordings with Saluzzi including “Navidad de los Andes”, “Ojos negros” and, with the Rosamunde Quartet, “Kultrum”. From 1992 until its disbanding 18 years later, Lechner was the cellist of the Munich-based Rosamunde Quartet, whose internationally-acclaimed ECM New Series recordings include music of Mansurian, Schoeck, Larcher, Webern, Shostakovich, Burian, Haydn, Yoffe, and more.
Projects in preparation for 2013 include the premiere of Vladimir Godar’s cello concerto with the Slovak Philharmonic.
In 2004, Lechner and Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos topped the US classical charts with “Chants, Hymns and Dances", featuring music of composer-philosopher G.I. Gurdjieff. A new duo, with French pianist François Couturier, continues to reference Gurdjieff, as well as Federico Mompou and Anouar Brahem, and adds Couturier’s own compositions to the stylistic mix, with repertoire situated at the crossroads of East and West. Lechner also performs in the Couturier’s Tarkovsky Quartet, which plays music inspired by the films of its namesake, sometimes accompanied in concert by the video projections of Andrey Tarkovsky Jr.
Born in Kassel, Germany, Anja Lechner studied with Heinrich Schiff in Cologne and Basle and, with a scholarship from the Deutsche Studienstiftung, with Janos Starker in Bloomington.
“One of the most gifted cellists in the world, often bridging the gap between contemporary and traditional, east and west, and arranged and improvisational music. She brings unimpeachable technical skills, a rich and warm tone and the interpretive soul of a poet to every performance, onstage and on record.” Strings, USA
"Anja Lechner, formerly of the Rosamunde Quartet, improvises with extraordinary lyrical beauty" Gramophone, UK
