Chick Corea – the great American jazz pianist, died on 9 February, 2021. His importance in modern jazz is difficult to overestimate and he leaves a great void behind him. He was active right up to the end both as a composer and a musician.

Chick Corea wrote and played so much more than what traditionally fits under the umbrella term “jazz”. His music can smell of Spanish folk music, funk or rock and sometimes actually pure chamber music… and not infrequently a mixture of everything at the same time and in between. A true genre-crosser!

This tribute concert focuses on his perhaps lesser-known chamber music, i.a. his great “Lyric suite for sextet” from 1982, his string quartets from the suite “The Adventures of Hippocrates” commissioned by the Santa Fe Chambermusic festival in 1994. When the vibraphonist Roger Svedberg together with the “Armando Quartet” from the Norrland Opera and the Spanish pianist Adrian Moncada enter the stage this Summer we can promise a vital, challenging, virtuosic and exciting evening!
