Christian Muthspiel & Orjazztra Vienna
Thursday, 16. October 2025, theHouse
The Orjazztra Vienna is a kind of continuation of the renowned Vienna Art Orchestra and yet something completely unique. It is a playground for the composer and trombonist Christian Muthspiel and at the same time a field of experimentation for young musicians from the Viennese scene. Above all, however, Muthspiel can work with this orchestra in a concentrated and detailed manner on what is important to him, "i.e. really play dynamically, really work on the timbres, really work on the phrasing", as he revealed to BR. He can easily realize even complex pieces because he has up to 18 individual voices at his disposal. This includes a very special project close to his heart: the orchestration of the incomparable poetry of Ernst Jandl, the jazz-savvy language artist. Jandl, who worked with Muthspiel himself on several occasions, would be 100 this year. With "Vom Jandln zum Ernst", Muthspiel has created a major musical and literary work - an oratorio for the poet's voice and 17 soloists. In short: an event. And one of the last chances to see Christian Muthspiel live before he ends his stage career at the end of the year.
