Si ce festival ma asteapta peste o saptamana in Nicklesdorf. Aflat la editia nr. 32:
“It’s well known that the KONFRONTATIONEN festival is a festival of highlights. So let us start with the first one: Looking back to the very beginnings of the festival’s history in the late 1970s, it has been a main objective of the programme to work out the aspects of and differences between the Afro-American and European traditions of free jazz in order to present a wide and open vista for the interested audience. Both the Evan Parker Quintet and the project Freenology work out this idea, play with it and tell great transatlantic contemporary stories. This has nothing to do with melancholy but emphasises the characteristic of the KONFRONTATIONEN and the opportunity of “long term studies” of music developments together with musicians who are pioneers, who create the present and prepare the future. The future for a music that happens in the moment.“
