MAO Creative Crew

MAO Creative Crew

Kornél Fekete-Kovács created the MAO Creative Crew school program in 2019. This is an interactive concert with a quintet-formation of MAO’s musicians for youngsters to get familiar with jazz history and the attributes of the jazz genre by playing from legendary figures of jazz music. This series was created specifically for kids from upper grades of elementary school and secondary education with the philosophy of being able to perform even in a classroom, but keeping the quality of sound in priority and securing professional technical stage background for the performance. The program shows the similarities and differences between classical and jazz music while stretching the boundaries of the genres. The program consists mainly of jazz classics and their re-interpretations stresses the fundamental statements, the terms and the generality of music.
