John Zorn: New Electric Masada

A world premiere for the finale

The grand finale of the John Zorn Reflektor – which could turn into the most exciting musical state of exception in the Elbphilharmonie’s five years of existence – is the world premiere of New Electric Masada. The tentet is a veritable all-star band with two guitarists, two keyboard players, one electronic musician, one bassist, two drummers and the amazing Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista. And what will Zorn be doing on stage? »I’ll be doing some crazy conducting and playing the saxophone.«
