Georg Graewe

about

After playing guitar in local rock bands since 1971, Georg Graewe founded his first group, The Georg Graewe Quintet, in 1974 while still in his teens. Graewe has consequently been leading a variety of ensembles ranging from trio to chamber orchestra formats, which have involved some of the most noted soloists in contemporary music. From 1982 to 1993 Graewe was director of the GrubenKlangOrchester, a 10-piece chamber group with an international line-up. Georg Graewe has also had a long-standing trio with Ernst Reijseger and Gerry Hemingway (which took a long sabbatical in the late part of the 1990s, to reconvene for a tour of the US in 1999). Georg Graewe’s compositions, which include works for solo piano, chamber music as well as pieces for full symphony orchestra, have been performed at major venues throughout the world. Georg Graewe’s work is documented on some 30 releases on several American and European labels. He has also performed and recorded with Anthony Braxton, John Tchicai, Barry Guy, Marilyn Crispell, Evan Parker, Barre Phillips, Ken Vandermark, Paul Lovens, Mats Gustafsson, Joëlle Léandre, Dave Douglas among many others. Current projects include The Georg Gräwe Quartet with Frank Gratkowski, Kent Kessler and Hamid Drake. Georg Graewe runs the label Random Acoustics.
