Shuteen Erdenebaatar, piano, composition / Nils Kugelmann, contra-alto clarinet, bass, composition
Two outstanding voices of young European jazz – Mongolian pianist and composer Shuteen Erdenebaatar and German bassist and clarinettist Nils Kugelmann – invite you on an extraordinary musical journey with their new programme "Under the Same Stars".
What began as a personal encounter has developed into a profound musical dialogue between two souls: Shuteen's hypnotic, luminous piano playing meets the mysterious timbres of Kugelmann's contralto clarinet – a rare instrument that takes centre stage here. Together, they create a soundscape that combines jazz, classical music and film music, interweaving their individual stories, cultures and love of music in a unique way.
In recent years, both have established themselves as influential figures of a new generation. Shuteen Erdenebaatar, born in Mongolia, has been living in Germany since 2018. She has been awarded the German Jazz Prize and the highest cultural prize in her home country, among others. Nils Kugelmann, ACT artist and also a multiple award winner, is known for his work with his own trio and his signature style as a composer.
