INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY
SATURDAY, JULY 30 AT 21:00 CEST
In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the International Day of Friendship with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures, and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. Stingray DJAZZ would like to celebrate this day by presenting a collaborative concert of an unforgettable jazz duo. Watch pianist Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton perform original material from their duo album Native Sense at Münchner Klaviersommer 1997, on July 30 at 21:00 CEST.
Chick Corea & Gary Burton
SATURDAY, JULY 30 AT 21:00 CEST
'Münchner Klaviersommer' was an annual concerts series that took place from 1981 to 1998 in Munich, Germany. Although the festival's name suggests a strong focus on piano music, it featured countless famous musicians from jazz and classical music – not just pianists. The concerts were usually held in July at The Gasteig, home of the Munich Philharmonic. In 1997, American pianist Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea was one of the artists appearing here. He performed a set with longtime duet partner, vibraphonist Gary Burton. This concert was a reunion of sorts for the two, who had not appeared as a duo for many years, and the first of many more joint performances to come. Today, both musicians have more than earned their jazz legend status.
