Jolidulidu

unique | fresh | insolent

“Jolidulidu” is the name of a captivating programme devised by the Chor Audite Nova Zug and presented by the boundlessly enthusiastic artistic director Johannes Meister. The high-point of the evening will be the work of the same name by Stephan Hodel for choir and clarinet, alphorn, trumpet, büchel, accordion and percussion.

The composition is a combined collage in 12 pictures, with elements of jazz, folk music, traditional and contemporary classical and experimental music. The folk songs and melodies that are interwoven are performed in fun, energetic and unexpected ways and underscored by rhythm and sound transformations and alienations to serve up a musical mix that is as unconventional as it is entertaining.  

The opening part of the concert will feature unusual, original and occasionally insolent folk song arrangements, including works by Martin Völlinger and John Wolf Brennan – it’s folk music, but not as we know it!
