Ronny Graupe’s Szelest brings cosmic jazz to the Capitol Mannheim
On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the Capitol Mannheim transforms into a resonance space for modern jazz: Ronny Graupe’s Szelest will perform as part of the concert series Jazz Tuesday at Casino Rampenlicht. The concert starts at 8:00 PM.
When disturbance becomes music
Szelest dedicates itself to a general disturbance factor that appears as a random pattern in disturbances and has always remained active in the background. The poetic press text opens a sound space between perception, memory, and movement. What initially seems abstract gains an immediate physical dimension in the trio's live atmosphere: music can resonate pleasantly, disturbingly, stimulatingly, or painfully.
Guitar, voice, and piano in open dialogue
Ronny Graupe shapes the evening on guitar together with Lucia Cadotsch on vocals and Jozef Dumoulin on piano. The lineup promises a finely balanced connection of improvised music, sonic transparency, and expressive stage performance. Between precise synchronization, open textures, and sensitive dynamics, a sound emerges that probes rather than defines.
Ronny Graupe: independent language on the instrument
The Berlin jazz guitarist Ronny Graupe has been active nationally and internationally since the mid-1990s. As a leader and co-leader, he has released more than a dozen albums and has worked in the trio Gropper/Graupe/Lillinger, as well as with his ensemble Ronny Graupe’s Spoom. His own language as a guitarist and composer combines musical precision with improvisational openness.
Since 2011, Graupe has been teaching jazz guitar and ensemble playing at the University of the Arts Bern. In 2021, he received the newly established German Jazz Award in the guitar category. With Szelest, he continues his quest for unusual sound colors and vibrant forms.
A concert experience for curious jazz ears
At the Capitol, the clear acoustics of the concert hall, the stage lighting, and the focused audience atmosphere converge with a trio that shifts musical boundaries not with volume but with attention. The compositions leave space for intermediary colors, surprising twists, and an orchestration that creates a complex sound image from a few voices.
Conclusion: Ronny Graupe’s Szelest promises an intense jazz evening between guitar, vocals, piano, and free sound movement. Those who wish to experience contemporary jazz live and engage with an unusual musical concept should not miss this evening at the Capitol Mannheim.
