ZAPPA-FEST WITH KORK
Conductor: Thomas S�nderg�rd
Frank Zappa music goes beyond all boundaries and has fans in all musical
camps, whether you prefer rock, jazz or experimental contemporary music. It
has many years of right reasons, been an expensive affair to perform Zappa,
and so has his music only occasionally been played by symphony orchestras in
Norway. Therefore, it is a small sensation when the orchestra with its chief
conductor Thomas S�nderg�rd invite to full symphonic Zappa-party at
Rockefeller. Music fans know from many Zappa albums, with songs such as
G-Spot Tornado and Dog Breath Variations, but the orchestral arrangements
are the same as in Zappa's latest disc, The Yellow Shark, with the
contemporary ensemble Ensemble Modern. In addition to the Zappa is the music
of another composer border, German Heiner Goebbels, who is also known for
his uninhibited mix of rock, jazz and contemporary music
