Par SAMITZ NICO. Nico Samitz has been composing for chamber ensembles since his school days. For over ten years he has been writing works in a wide variety of genres for the ?BlechReiz BrassQuintett? ensemble, in which he himself plays trumpet and piano. His field of expertise ranges from classical pieces to jazz and meditative music?and even to pop-oriented compositions. While honing his skills in ear-training and composition at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, Nico became acquainted with a wide repertoire of works as a trumpet player with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Opera, all of which have influenced his writing style. The driving force behind his creative work is a winning combination of passion, the fun of music-making and a desire to express, through the medium of music, feelings that are difficult to put into words. Like many of his works, Nico composed The Joy of Freedom for the ?BlechReiz BrassQuintet?. The catchy tune is reworked in a variety of styles throughout the entire work, giving it the quality of a true ?earworm?. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Trompette et Piano
