“The human voice is my ideal,” says Jan Garbarek, and there is hardly a saxophonist who has come as close to this ideal as the musician from Norway. It is the contrast between the song-like, poetic, simple and the intensity of free improvisation with other musicians that defines Jan Garbarek's art.
The artists who accompany him each contribute in their own way: on the piano, long-time companion Rainer Brüninghaus, Trilok Gurtu, the wild drum magician from India on the percussion and the Brazilian Yuri Daniel on the bass. Jan Garbarek is a musical circumnavigator who catches everything that the wind blows his way. Those who listen to him can feel what touches him and what gives him the breath that brings the sounds to us.
“The utopia of infinite breath and natural harmony drives Garbarek’s music, it does not sweat, it is cheerful in the sense of the word, which comes from the Greek aither and means clear sky, pure air.” (Die Zeit)

Prinzregententheater
The Prinzregententheater, or Prince Regent Theatre, is a theatre and opera house located at 12 Prinzregentenplatz in theBavarian city of Munich, Germany.
Initiated by Ernst von Possart, the theatre was built in the Prinzregentenstrasse as a festival hall for the operas of Richard Wagner near an area where a similar project of King Ludwig II had failed some decades before. Named after Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria the building was designed by Max Littmann and opened 21 August 1901 with a production of "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg" by Richard Wagner. Like the Bayreuth theatre, the auditorium was designed to Wagner’s specifications, however an amphitheater has replaced the loges.
After the destruction of the Nationaltheater during World War II, the Prinzregententheater housed the Bavarian State Operafrom 1944 to 1963 even though it also suffered damage during the war which was not repaired until 1958. Since its renovation in 1988, the Prinzregententheater, with 1122 seats, has served also for the Bavarian Staatsschauspiel and now houses the Bavarian Theatre Academy founded by August Everding. Another theatre in the building, the Akademietheateror Academy Theatre, seats 300.
The Prince Regent theater is reached very well both by car and by public transportation MVV.
