JOE MAGNARELLI

Syracuse, New York native Joe Magnarelli moved to New York City in 1986 and soon became a regular on the New York and international Jazz scenes. In 1987, Joe began touring and recording both with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra and with Hammond Organ legend Brother Jack McDuff. Joe’s early career also included touring and recording with Toshiko Akioshi, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Harry Connick, Jr. and the Hard Bop Quintet.
From 2003-2006, “Mags” performed with Latin-Jazz maestro Ray Barretto and his New Sextet, recording on Barretto’s CD, “Time Was, Time Is” which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Joe has worked and toured with so many Jazz greats, including the Vanguard Orchestra, Jane Monheit, Jon Hendricks, Jimmy Cobb, Louis Hayes, Alvin Queen, Dado Maroni, Tom Harrell Big Band, George Gruntz, Harry Whitaker, Walt Weiskopf, Grant Stewart, Charles Davis, Nick Brignola, JR Monterose, Gary Smulyan, The Carnegie Hall Orchestra, Don Sebesky, Aretha Franklin, Rosemary Clooney, Joe Williams, Michael Feinstein, and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.
“Mags” has recorded nine CDs under his own name, and has played on numerous Jazz dates as a sideman. His debut as a leader was 1994’s “Why Not” (Criss Cross). He followed that excellent album with three others on the Criss Cross label: “Always There” (1997), “Mr. Mags” (2000) and “Hoop Dreams” (2005). He subsequently released „Persistence“ (2007) and „My Old Flame“ (2010), his first big band recording as a leader. He also made two albums co-leading a sextet with the legendary Philadelphia trumpeter John Swana: “Philly-New York Junction” (1998), and “New York-Philly Junction” (2003).
Joe is currently Adjunct Professor of Music at the Juilliard School of Music and at Rutgers University. He conducts clinics and master classes around the world, sharing his musical experience and passing on the knowledge taught to him by such world renown educators as Jack Palmer, Sal Amico, Tommy Turrentine, James Moody, Garry Dial, Arnold Jacobs, and William Vachianno.

This exclusive concert with the UPSTATE 5tet is Joe Magnarelli’s first guest appearance at raj. Also joining this great band is the award-winning Bologna bassist, Francesco Angiuli.

Intentional & Random: a festival | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Join us for an evening of music that explores the boundaries of sound and performance.

Beginning at 18:30, the event will open with a collaborative sound installation Quotidian Reminiscence in the garden of Villa for Forest. The sonic positions of the installation are distributed across the outside space, inviting listeners to roam around and encounter dialogues among eight micro-compositions that capture moments of habitual personal contexts. The installation will remain active throughout the entire event, providing an immersive sonic backdrop to three distinctive concerts. At 19:30, the first concert features a new work by Klagenfurt-based composer Bastien Brännland, alongside Matthew Schlomowitz's Letter Piece #5: Northern Cities, for two players performing music, actions, and text; Alban Berg’s 4 Stücke, Op. 5, which delves into virtuosic atonality through extended techniques such as flutter-tonguing and extreme dynamics; and John Zorn’s seminal "game piece" Cobra, where performers shape the music in real time through cues and gestures. The 20:30 concert showcases Julius Eastman's minimalist masterpiece Stay On It – a work by a composer whose brilliant contributions were almost completely lost but have recently achieved high acclaim – paired with Peter Ablinger's noise piece Nanophony for soft sounds and loud amplification. The final concert at 21:30 will conclude the evening with an experimental improvisation designed and performed by a quintet of composer-performers, sympathetically agitated by Christopher A. Williams.

From the opening collaborative sound installation to the final improvisation set, Intentional & Random promises a unique journey through sound, intermedia and performance. Whether you're a seasoned experimental music enthusiast or a curious first-time listener, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore the frontiers of musical expression.

All are welcome!

Autorenlesung | Literatur- und Dichterkreis Klagenfurt | Villa For Forest

Villa For Forest, Viktringer Ring 21, 9020 Klagenfurt Der Literatur- und Dichterkreis Klagenfurt wurde vor 23 Jahren gegründet und besteht aktuell aus 13 aktiven Mitgliedern. Der Verein dient der Förderung von literarischen Werken, die von den Vereinsmitgliedern selbst geschaffen wurden.
Diese Förderung spiegelt sich insbesondere in monatlichen Vereinsstammtischen, regelmäßigen Lesungen, sowie in einer gemeinsamen Publikation wieder. Eine der Hauptintentionen des Literatur- und Dichterkreises Klagenfurt liegt dabei darin, LiteratInnen einen Austausch mit anderen LiteratInnen zu ermöglichen und sie bei ihren ersten Schritten in der Öffentlichkeit zu unterstützen. Hierbei legt der Verein auch sehr viel Wert darauf, dass das Vereinsleben stets von einer familiären Atmosphäre geprägt wird.
Im Juni 2025 wurde die aktuelle Anthologie „Freude am Schreiben“ im Eigenverlag herausgegeben, in welcher sich besondere Kostproben aller Autorinnen und Autoren finden.
