Complex and full of metamorphoses, Katarina Livljanic’s interpretation of this story, rooted in the Dalmatian Renaissance, transforms a Biblical narration into a theatrical experience, woven around characters who have emerged from the text to become profoundly human and alive for us today.

The violinist, fiddler and composer Albrecht Maurer studied violin at the Musikhochschule Köln and taught himself the piano, which he then later studied. In addition, he pursued the study of non-European tonal systems and computer music. He gathered his experience with new and experimental music through work with composers from the Kagel "school", including Maria de Alvear, Carola Buckholt, and Manos Tsangaris.
He has worked with many jazz musicians including Theo Jörgensmann, Bobo Stenson, Norbert Stein, Markus Stockhausen, Klaus Kugel, Carla Bley, Charlie Mariano, Karl Berger, Steve Argüelles, Lauren Newton, Wolter Wierbos, Benoit Delbecq, Kate Westbrook, and Barre Phillips. In the last few years Albrecht Maurer has concentrated on the composition and interpretation of partially improvised music. His CD's include Albrecht Maurer Quartet Works (1995), Albrecht Maurer Solo Works (1996), and The Juillaguet Collection (duo with Kent Carter - 1999), Albrecht Maurer Trio Delight (2000) on early music instruments, European Echoes (2001), Albrecht Maurer Trio Works "Movietalks" (2002). Syntopia Quartet "Mars" (2004), and Maurer-Rodenkirchen "Hidden Fresco" (2005).
Excerpt from a concert at the Zadar Festival (Croatia), in July 2007
Excellent musicians Albrecht Maurer and Norbert Rodenkirchen were worth a whole orchestra. In their interaction with Katarina Livljanic’s marvellous voice, everything seemed like a perfect improvisation, created at the very moment of the performance.
