On September 6, 2019, Oscar nominated composer and pianist Hauschka (Volker Bertelman) performed at the Philharmonie Köln together with the WDR Funkhausorchestra. I contributed some of the arrangements for the special size of the Funkhausorchestra. The full concert can be heard and seen here:
The music and comedy duo Carrington-Brown, alias Rebecca Carrington and Colin Brown, together with the ingenious cello Joe, have spun a turbulent operetta that not only deals with the hair-raising motifs of the old Persian fairy tale, but also targets current European politics. World premiere @ Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele, May 24th 2019, music composed by Olaf Taranczewski and Carrington-Brown. Text by Carrington-Brown, Simon Callow, Arthur Büscher and Olaf Taranczewski
