„… an accomplished composer as well as a smart post-bop tenor saxophonist.”
The New York Times
„A saxophonist with patient poise on the slow ones and fierce resolve on the fast
ones.” The Village Voice (New York)
„… solos that demonstrate the absolute mastery of his saxophones, in emotional and
technical terms. Every note hits the mark, but also reveals the notable feature of
leadership, that nothing is done halfway.” All About Jazz Italy
„A musician’s musician, just like it says in books. The American living in Vienna spins
fascinating webs of improvisation with long, drawn-out and intense melodies on the
tenor saxophone that place him at the top of the international saxophone scene.
Great music.” Jazzthing (Germany)
___________________________________________________________
Andy Middleton has long been considered by critics and his peers to be one of the
world““s top-tier jazz saxophonists. While a technically masterful player, Middleton““s
solos have rather been noted for their power of inspired imagination, rhythmic drive,
lyricism and adventurous energy. Likewise, his compositions are both harmonically
modern and lyrical with a clear sense of the tradition. Middleton’s unique voice as
both a player and a composer/arranger has led jazz icons such as Dave Holland,
Kenny Wheeler and Ralph Towner to record and perform with him. He has also
performed/recorded with Maria Schneider, Renee Rosnes, Randy Brecker, Bill
Evans, Lionel Hampton, Bob Mintzer, Joey Calderazzo, John Abercrombie and Adam
Nussbaum.
Born in Harrisburg, PA, Andy received his masters degree in composition at the
University of Miami. After nearly 20 years in the New York jazz scene, he relocated
to Vienna, Austria in 2006.

IncontriAMOci | Ausstellungseröffnung | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Die Ausstellung“incontriAMOci“ mit zahlreichen Mosaikkünstler*innen aus vielen Nationen war bereits im Frühling 2024 in Fagagna und im Februar 2025 in Manzano zu sehen, wobei die Zusammenstellung jedes Mal etwas unterschiedlich war. Maestro Giulio Menossi, Mosaikkünstler aus Udine, hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, zu zeigen, dass Mosaik eine lebendige, zeitgemäße Kunstform ist, in der die Kunstschaffenden wie in anderen Kunstrichtungen auch ihren eigenen Stil, ihre eigenen Techniken und Ausdrucksweisen entwickeln. Giulio Menossi ist bekannt für seine dynamischen Mosaike und er organisiert weltweit Workshops und Mosaiksymposien. Eines dieser Symposien fand 2017 und 2018 unter dem Titel „Via Crucis - verso la Luce“ in Udine statt, während dem 14 Künstlerinnen mit unterschiedlichen religiösen und sozialen Hintergründen je eine Station des Kreuzwegs gestaltete. Diese Mosaike der Via Crucis sowie eine Auswahl der Werke von Giulio Menossi und von den in Kärnten lebenden Künstlerinnen Afsaneh Ashki, Malu Storch und Angela Zimek werden neben Mosaikbeispielen weiterer Künstler*innen bis 14.Mai 2025 in der Villa For Forest zu sehen sein.
