If that's not a reason to celebrate: 30 years already, the men of Mnozil Brass have been delighting their audiences with virtuosic good humor. They therefore deserve the fanfare-like prelude to this year's cycle »The Art of Brass«, which features two remarkable debuts: Switzerland's Franco Ambrosetti and the U.S.'s Chris Botti - formerly principal trumpet in Sting's band - honor the Vienna Konzerthaus with classical and unusual accompaniment. Ambrosetti, 82 years young, follows in the footsteps of Charlie Parker and Clifford Brown with his new album »Nora« by being accompanied by rich string sound in noble arrangements by Alan Broadbent. Further highlights of this Who's Who of the trumpet players' guild are the performance of Selina Ott in honor of HK Gruber and the reunion with the musical jack-of-all-trades Ibrahim Maalouf.
