Some moments linger. They tell stories, evoke memories, and reveal their full power only in retrospect. POLAROIDS – Songs in Color captures such moments through music. Each piece is like a Polaroid—a snapshot that tells its own story and opens up its own unique soundscape.
The compositions and songs by Horst-Michael Schaffer and Emiliano Sampaio blend into a colorful medley of contemporary big-band sound, spoken word, electronic timbres, and jazz with great improvisational freedom. Orchestral richness meets spontaneous musical dialogues; catchy songs meet sonic sophistication.
Featuring some of Austria’s most outstanding wind players, the Jazz Big Band Graz presents its unmistakable sound—full of energy, emotion, and musical colors; modern, surprising, and captivating.
POLAROIDS – Songs in Color invites you to an evening of concert performances filled with musical snapshots that move, inspire, and linger long after the music ends.
