history
The FisFüz ensemble processes musical influences from the Middle East, the Mediterranean as well as from North Africa and the Baltic States. Her second CD production SimSim , which was released in Germany in 2000 , was also released in the USA three years later.
The ensemble has been working as a trio since 2004, consisting of the two founding members and the Istanbul-born Gürkan Balkan (guitar and oud ). The ensemble has been giving guest performances abroad since 2008 through the agency of the Goethe-Institut , for example at the Ankara Jazz Festival 2009, the Nicosia Jazz Festival 2012 and the Sama Music Festival Khartoum (Sudan) 2015.
Murat Coskun has already played with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra , and the other band members also have many years of experience in the fields of early music , baroque music and new music . This resulted in the program Mozart a la Turca (with stylistic borrowings from Die Entführung aus dem Serail ), which was performed at the Mozart Festival in Würzburg in 2011 , and the program Mozart im Morgenland (an orchestration of own pieces for a large symphony orchestra), which was performed in 2012 could be heard in the Festspielhaus St. Pölten with the Tonkünstler Niederösterreich and at the tent music festival in Freiburg . In 2014 the CD release "Mozart in the Orient" followed.
In 2005 Annette Maye wrote her diploma thesis in jazz clarinet on the jazz clarinetist and saxophonist Gianluigi Trovesi . Since then, the FisFüz ensemble has had a musical friendship with Trovesi, which resulted in joint concert tours in 2010 and 2012 in Germany and Austria and the CD release Papillons , which was named “CD of the week” in September 2012 in hr 2 .
In the spring of 2016, the anniversary album Bonsai - 20 years of oriental jazz was released , on which the ensemble once again devotes itself to the most important musical stations on their musical journey together over two decades of band history.
