When Haggai Cohen-Milo describes his approach to creatively engaging with works of concert literature from the perspective of a jazz musician, it is flying objects in space that come to mind. When exploring the work, he feels like a spaceship that is drawn to the moon – the work – and thus accelerates further, finally overcoming the gravitational forces through targeted counter-steering, shooting past it and exploring new worlds: Worlds that lie beyond.
Haggai Cohen-Milo, double bassist and composer, is a border crosser between genres and art forms, in demand worldwide and also a welcome guest at the Symphoniker Hamburg, most recently at the Martha Argerich Festival 2024. At the suggestion of the Symphoniker Hamburg, he has explored three heavyweights of the classical repertoire for the three-part concert series »Gravitations«. Cohen-Milo circles the work in conversation, study and improvisation, searches for the essential emotions and themes in it, uncovers them for himself and then creates something completely unique and new in sound and text with his artistic collaborators: three unique concerts between jazz, improvisation and spoken word art.
