Ángela Tröndle

"Dieses Ensemble transportiert in einer unglaublichen Eleganz und Klarheit alles das, was ein musikverwöhntes Ohr zu hören wünscht. Ángelas Stimme betört subtil, emotionell mit Geist und unglaublichem Charme in absolut internationalem Format. Ihre Kompositionen und Texte ersticken aufkommende Langerweile im Keim. Siegmars Stimme an den Reeds bereichert die Klangebene mit ehrlicher Empfindsamkeit für das Ganze, durch farbenreiches Solo- und Sidemendasein. Wehe, wenn man ihn frei laufen lässt! Die Rhythmusgruppe lässt die Solisten so fliegen, wie man sich das als Solist eben nur wünschen kann und da weiß ich, wovon ich spreche. Danke ! Österreich hat endlich wieder einmal etwas, worauf es wirklich stolz sein darf ! Wer diese Band versäumt, ist selber schuld !"Klaus DickbauerGet Your Own! | View SlideshowI was born (1983) and raised (1983-2001) in in Salzburg, Austria. I grew up in a very musical surrounding since my parents both are classical musicians. From early on I got the chance to try out many instruments such as recorder, violin, piano. But singing always has been my passion, my real instrument. From the age of 16 on I took Piano (Markus Urbas) and Jazz-singing (Yella Schwarzer) lessons and so learned a lot of basics. After graduating at a High School with special emphasis on music I went to Graz, Austria to study music pedagogy. After 2 years I changed the studies to Jazz-vocal with Laurie Antonioli and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in June 2006 with distinction. Between 1998 and 2005 I attended workshops and Masterclasses with Lauren Newton, Theo Bleckmann, Jay Clayton, Ines Reiger, Fay Classen, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Huw Warren, Luciana Souza, Dick Oatts, Jon Hendricks and Bobby McFerrin. Twice I received scholarships from the University of Graz for attending Masterclasses and Workshops. In March 2006 I have been accepted to Manhattan School of Music but because of financial reasons I decided to go to NYC for private studies (composition/arrangement with Alan Ferber (Kenny Wheeler), Ingrid Jensen, Bruth Barth, voice/piano with Theo Bleckman and Peter Eldridge). I also attended workshops/masterclasses with Dave Liebman, Maria Schneider and Jason Moran.With my Band MOSAIK I started working on my own material, songs in which the voice partly is used as an instrument e.g. in unisono lines with the clarinet but also word-focused pieces. Currently I am working on some new songs and also special arrangements for "MOSAIK-extended" with more horns for the JazzWerkstattWien/Graz in March 2007.
