Live and act

Glatzel, who grew up in Munich, was introduced to music by his mother, a Korean opera singer. In 1996 he moved to Seoul for three years , began to learn tenor saxophone and performed there with jazz musicians. Then he lived again in Munich, where Thomas Zoller taught him. He played with trombonist Mathias Götz in his band Fishcat , which won second prize in the Jugend jazzt competition in 2000 and performed at the Jazz an der Donau festival. Then he played in the band Windkraft 4 ( Lunar oder Solar?, 2002). After graduating from high school, he founded the group Das Rote Gras with Karsten Hochapfelwith an unusual cast; the Germany Radio recommended the 2007 CD "The Red Grass" as a tip of the month.

Since 2004 Glatzel has been studying music at the Hanns Eisler Music Academy in Berlin . In 2006 he founded the large-format Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra in Berlin , which still exists today, toured internationally and released four albums with his compositions. The conditions for the success of this ensemble are "Glatzel's talent for organization and motivation, his courage to unconditionally put creativity before commerce and the abundance of exciting compositions that show the influences of Gil Evans , but always retain their independence and convince with unusual instrumentation."

Glatzel was commissioned with compositions and arrangements, for example by The Notwist (2008), the Barokensemble De Swaen Amsterdam (2011), Ensemble Intercontemporain and Cory Arcangel (2015) and the soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop (2016). There was also collaboration with Efterklang (2012), Sinfonietta Riga (2014), Hermeto Pascoal (2015) and Rosalind Goldberg (2016).

Glatzel curated the cross-genre music festival Kosmostage in 2013 and 2015, at which he presented artists from different continents and art styles (music, dance, painting, reading, interior design).
