Joseph Stone Auditorium

ABOUT

Hildegard Lernt Fliegen is an ambitious and daring sextet that features some of Europe's top jazz musicians. The group formed in 2005 under the leadership of Andreas Schaerer, the Swiss vocalist and musical magician who can deploy a range of sounds from steam punk lyrics to mimics of other instruments to a repertoire of unusual sound effects.
Hildegard’s sound is often superficially anarchic but the arrangements, sliding from interlocking rhythms to free jazz and back again, call for total control and discipline. The band is committed to responding to Schaerer’s demands with full immersion, whether performing straight-ahead swing or traversing into a Stravinsky-visits-vaudeville passage of fearsome complexity. Hildegard Lernt Fliegen is on a quest for musical ingenuity and walks a continuous tightrope between jazzy exuberance and quirky humour.
 
Featuring Andreas Schaerer (voice), Matthias Wenger (sax), Benedikt Reising (sax), Andreas Tschopp (trombone), Marco Müller (bass) and Christoph Steiner (drums).
