Fiona Grond – Hearts Wide Open

In the organizer's words:

Fiona Grond - Hearts Wide Open

It is said that people on the coast look into the distance, while people in the mountains tend to look inwards. Growing up at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by forests and lakes, it is therefore not surprising that Fiona Grond's music is characterized by a distinct honesty, vulnerability and naturalness. It is characterized by its delicate tones, by the spaces between the notes, but also by contrasts and frictions and the breaking of expectations and conventions.

With Hearts Wide Open, Fiona Grond now turns her innermost self outwards. In a top-class sextet, she presents a program that moves somewhere between chamber jazz, avant-pop and new music, where delicate compositions meet collective improvisations and cinematic soundscapes. The music always remains delicate, transparent and open. Fragile sound spaces are created that are constantly changing, sometimes clearly contoured, sometimes flowing and free. Grond's pieces follow a natural logic that is more committed to listening than to assertion
