A
Annika Francke is a 1987 born saxophonist from Bremen artistically active between Basel and Barcelona. She picked up the saxophone at 14 after years of learning violin and guitar.
Since her graduation at Hochschule für Musik Basel, jazz department, in 2012 she remains busy both with playing altosaxophone and bassclarinet in different contexts as well as teaching music.
Here is a presentation of current work and projects.

This unique duo unites two of a kind. Ricci and Francke share a wild sense of humour - not only at playing but also composing tunes for their little band.
A single musical style is nothing to be found to classify these two jazzmusicians as they use whatever they find to write and interpret new and new/old pieces.
Since 2014 they have played in various very different locations. Their ability to find the right music for the right place - in the right moment - is carried by a great flexiblity in instrumentation.
While bassclarinets are core and base for this special group, alto saxophone, clarinet or soprano saxophone may be added occasionally.

El grup NN està format per la saxofonista Annika Francke i el bateria Joni Sigil. Aquests músics d'avantguarda són adoradors del caos i el desordre positiu el qual utilitzen per fer una música carregada de textures, energia i brutalitat, però a la vegada subtil i controlada. Dos intèrprets de l'espontaneïtat més pura s'han ajuntat per perfilar contrastos compartint la seva afició per a sons quasi insignificants – celebrant justament la discutible irel·levància d'aquells.
Dúo nascut gràcies al festival de Banyoles femjazz, vénen a posar tot el pulmó i el cor a aquesta oportunitat acustica.

telQUEL
Annika Francke . Alto Saxophone
Maleen Sutter . Double Bass
telQUEL started playing jazzstandards in the street in 2014. Performing in duo format allowed Francke und Sutter to explore different musical concepts in a flexible yet informal way.
Own compositions as well as improvised music and noises form the repertoire of telQUEL who in the meantime have grown into a fine musical duo sharing the passion of playing simple, honest acoustic music with an ironic breeze.

ideoS
Aquest trio uneix tres forces de orígens ben diferents i llibertats que permetran en el moment arribar a límits i regions on mai havien estat abans. L’escolta i la unió fan
d’aquest trio una experiència irrepetible per la riquesa creativa que desprenen les tres. Un passeig entre la improvisació free, la música clàssica, el jazz i el flamenc.
