Radijski koncert Big Banda RTV Slovenija z Reinholdom Schmölzerjem bo v soboto, 24. septembra, ob 20. uri v Studiu 26 Radia Slovenija.

Za Reinholda Schmölzerja, avstrijskega skladatelja/aranžerja in tudi iskanega jazz bobnarja, je prvo načelo red. Številni odlomki njegove glasbe so komponirani; tudi improvizirani odseki potekajo po “začrtani poti. Tudi psevdokaos, ki ga proizvajajo večplastne improvizacije, se prej ali slej vrne na bolj ustaljena pota. Vsaka skladba ima notranjo dramaturgijo, ki se, potem ko poslušalca popelje na čustveno potovanje v daljne kraje skladateljeve domišljije, vrne na izhodišče – z upanjem, da bo na poti pustila trajne vtise.

Skupaj bomo predstavil nekaj skladb iz njegovih dveh izdanih albumov jazzovskega orkestra ter nekaj novitet.
Reinhold Schmölzer se je rodil novembra 1983. Odraščal je v Radentheinu in začel svoje glasbeno izobraževanje na lokalni glasbeni šoli Spittal/Drau, kjer je nabiral izkušnje v simfoničnih godalnih orkestrih, godbah na pihala, big bandih in manjših klasičnih ter jazzovskih zasedbah. Kasnje se je posvetil študiju jazza v Celovcu (Koroški državni konservatorij), Gradcu (Univerza za glasbo in dramsko umetnost Gradec) in Berlinu (Jazzinstitute Berlin). Gostoval je po Evropi z mnogimi svetovno znanimi glasbeniki.

Leta 2002 je bil povabljen na “1st Austrian Drums &amp” Percussion-Youth-Contest 2002” (Feldkirch/Vbg.), kjer je osvojil 1. nagrado v kategoriji solo bobni. Istega leta je Reinhold postal štipendist “Encourangement 2002”; kluba Kiwanis Club Spittal/Drau. Leta 2006 mu je »Univerza za glasbo in glasbeno umetnost« podelila štipendijo, ki mu je omogočila bivanje v New Yorku. Spomladi 2012 je bil Reinhold nagrajen s prestižno nagrado „DOWNBEAT Student Music Awards“ za svojo priredbo pesmi „Lotus Flower“ (Radiohead), ki jo je mogoče najti tudi na njegovem debitantskem albumu „Miraculous Loss Of Signal“, ki je izšel novembra 2012 pri založbi UNIT Records.Reinholda sta podprla tudi zvezna dežela Koroška (štipendija za glasbeno podporo 2014) in urad avstrijskega zveznega kanclerja (nagrada za izjemnega umetnika 2017).
Februarja 2013 je bil Reinhold povabljen k sodelovanju na delavnici „Metropole Orchestra Arrangers Workshop“ (NL), ki jo je vodil Vince Mendoza. Tam je dobil priložnost aranžirati eno od skladb gosta solista Richarda Bone. Njegov drugi album »orchest•ra•conteur« z naslovom »Aerial Image« je izšel pri založbi UNIT Records oktobra 2016.

The Radio concert of Big Band RTV Slovenia with Reinhold Schmölzer will take place on Saturday, September 24 at 20:00 in Studio 26 at Radio Slovenia. For Reinhold Schmölzer, austrian composer/arranger as well as sought-after jazz drummer, the first principle is order. Many passages of his music are through-composed; the improvised sections also follow a “road map”;. Even the pseudo-chaos produced by multilayered improvisations returns to more settled paths sooner or later. Each composition has an internal dramaturgy which, after taking the listener on an emotional voyage to the far reaches of the composer; imagination, returns to its starting point – with hopes of having made lasting impressions on the way.
With RTV Slovenia Big Band Schmölzer will present compositions of his two jazz orchestra albums, as well as new arranged material.

Reinhold Schmölzer was born in November 1983. Raised up in Radenthein, he began his musical education at the local music school of Spittal/Drau, where he could gain experience in symphonic string orchestras, brass bands, big bands and smaller classical as well as jazz bands.

In 2006 „University of music and daramtic arts“ granted him a support scholarship, which made it possible to stay in New York City. In spring 2012 Reinhold was awarded with the prestigious „DOWNBEAT Student Music Awards“ for his arrangement of „Lotus Flower“ (Radiohead), which can also be found on his Debut Album „Miraculous Loss Of Signal“, released in November 2012 on UNIT Records.
